Are you an HVAC technician looking to work in the state of Florida? If so, you may be wondering if you need to obtain a license to perform HVAC work. The answer is yes and no. The state of Florida requires all HVAC contractors to be licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations. However, if you are an HVAC technician and want to work under the supervision of a contractor, you can do so without needing to obtain a license.
A license is sure to give you an edge over your competitors and, at the same time, more opportunities for you and your company. All technicians and contractors must be licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations in order to perform heating, air conditioning and refrigeration work in the state of Florida. Virtually every Florida contractor must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board, including HVAC, 2* contractors. For instance, Florida also has a “mechanical contractor” license, which allows a contractor to carry out HVAC installation, maintenance and repair work, such as duct work. If you are an HVAC technician looking to work in the state of Florida, it is essential to understand the licensing requirements. While it is possible to work without a license if you are working under the supervision of a contractor, it is highly recommended that you obtain a license in order to maximize your opportunities and gain an advantage over your competitors.
