HVAC License Requirement

by a searcher from University of Virginia

Hello all. Does anyone have experience with HVAC license requirements (particularly in the state of Georgia)? Does the owner/buyer of an HVAC services company need a license (e.g., the “Conditioner Air Non-Restricted Class 2” license)? Is it sufficient if one or more employees are licensed? Are there restrictions on the type of work you can do as an owner if you’re unlicensed? I’d love to connect with anyone who is knowledgeable on the subject.

After reading this i went to the HVAC licensing page in GA, its cryptic but it does specify some guidelines. I would probably just call your department ask someone in the office. If that doesn't work, call or attend the local association for HVAC...you probably need to network anyway. There is always a work around with these things, see above comments, minority owner licensed, lead tech licensed with ownership, etc.

Agreed with Robert's comment. It is state specific - check out your state licensing board for more details. In California, you can have an employee qualify - it does not need to be the current owner.
