HVAC Licenses and Certifications: Which Ones Do You Need?

I live here in KY also was going to get into carpentry then as I drive around through tri states almost daily . I see you can’t compete with the Latin people because they are the carpenters, roofers, framers, flooring and landscaping, then I had a bulb go off in my head as I never see them in HVAC, or Electrical trades!?

I want to get into commercial appliance repair. I’m not interested in obtaining an HVACR license but I’m wondering if it’s required for refrigeration. Where’s the line drawn between refrigeration and HVACR? I’m assuming for now that it’s required to have a HVACR license to work on walk in fridges/freezers but not reach ins. I want to work legally but the literature isn’t clear on this and the potential refrigeration rules seems silly to me. I’m in New Jersey and licenses are required here but If anyone knows details on this subject I’d appreciate a response.

Is there any certification necessary to get HVAC supervisor job. I have 14 years experience as HVAC installation supervisor.oversease Qualification is Btech Hons in HVAC and MS in Project management with PMP certification. Please guide me sir I intend to apply as HVAC supervisor role

I have 28 certifications along with a journeyman license and an associate degree of applied sciences for HVAC. It helps having an entire stack and a 2 page list at the end of my resume to show employers.

I have 30

I know this is a old video but I was curious since you didn’t cover this. I am a part time scrapper and would like be able to fully scrap out a a/c unit or anything similar. I’m in TN and my local yard requires me to have a hvac license to scrap. Can you help me figure out what I need to be able to accomplish this. Thanks

sir. what if you have already a type 1,2,3 certificate. do I still need to take universal EPA.? or no need to take it aslong as I have a 1,2,3 type.??

So
I have a question I have done hvac for a living for about 8 years now I usually work alone furnace and ac installs I went to. Trade school and became a journeyman and I work for a union sheet metal company. Do I have licensing if so how do i obtain proof or get physical cards

What's your point of view in taking the community college route instead of trade school. My local college offers the program and hands on work too. Can't decide which route is best.

I'm from Puerto Rico they require us to get 1300classroom hours and a diploma the 608 Universal, 609, PR Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Technician License and we have to register with the CTRAPR Colegio de Técnicos de Refrigeración y Aire Acondicionado de Puerto Rico. Similar to a Union but marginal benefits.

The beard is hypnotizing.

I wonder how many certifications need in Texas

Man sad is sounds for HVAC/R people like me need like millions of different certifications in order to continue hvac/r business 😞

Hellow sir which country you are, cuase i am planning to school in canada as a hvac technician. would you help me gave some school without ieltd required.

How do I find out what licenses my state requires?

Thanks for the info 👍🏼

I'm in propane and we don't need near as much as HVAC and plumbers and propane can be explosive.

can you get certified online?

I am HVAC Engineer what is your Canty

Does 10 years of appliance repair qualify?

OSHA 30 is a certificate that is very important to get as well

NYC is very expensive license with yearly renewal BS..

Good Video!

License is mandatory which I don't have

Any recommended schools or methods of getting universal license? I'm not an a.c. work, but I own properties and want to install mini splits on them. I live in Louisiana in case you can recommend any schools

Should i get a EPA 609????

I have my epa universal license is that all I need to actually get a job ???

You absolutely do not need an EPA to do HVAC you only need that to purchase the refrigerant yourself. False info

I'm glad I got the universal.

Are studies finished in foreign countries taken into account?

The fukkin bureaucracy to get into a trade is rediculous. Too much red tape. Especially with damn near all of this info can be learnane in 60 day with a person having an aptitude for tech specs.

Great information. thank you so much bro

Kentucky is my state, thank you for the information, are you in the Louisville area or further on down south like me. I am a certified electrician and only 19 I put off school for such a long time, now it seems like the people are in positions, and the jobs I need for journeyman licenses (which is 4 years for just the journeyman) are full up, so now I have an opportunity to get my master licenses In the same time it would take for me to get a journeyman license, I understand though, an electrician wires the whole building. Wish me luck I hope I can build my school in my 60s that is the dream.

hvac have scope sir plz guode

Just got epa universal

What if my goal is to have a service truck to truobleshoot and repair home systems? I have no ambition to hire techs or be on the construction side. I might want to get into the commercial side later. It seems like it'd be a waste of time for me to learn how to build and install duct work if ill never do that in the field. There is a HVAC school at my local CC and im not opposed to going, but I think I might do just as well to get an online certification and apprentice under someone. I know a guy that I think there's a good chance would hire me. Based on my goal, please tell me whay you think.

Sir I'm India in Tamil Nadu sir Diploma refrigerator and air conditioning Canada job available sir

Anyone just have the epa certificate? If so how is with jobs

Good !

Technician like you is probably the reason I had to take class on appearance and customer interactions. With extreme hillbilly appearance you're most likely going to end up with low score reviews and unfair salary. You can be highly talented Technician yet won't be given fair chance to work on sophisticated equipments.

In NJ employer have to sponsor me for 5 years to take test for license.
Test ok. Get tested all the time, verifiable work experience that to ok. Gotta show my competency. but sponsor for 5 years by current employer.
F__k! Not a lot of employer are willing to sponsor for 5 years f__k years. They know most of us who are willing to jump through hoops will quit & go out on our own once we have the license.
CCP china call it “GUANXI- The Connected”.

I have a universal I need a mechanical 'here in Miami I feel I'm the best tech ever in air conditioning and refrigeration.

So I can't just go to school, take the written test and do this as a side job? I have to work two years full time.

If I lost my certification how can I get my certification

Do you have your own company I’m also in Kentucky

If I get my certification in Tennessee can I work in Florida and get my license that are as well
