Who Needs a License

How to Get Licensed

Florida's Construction Industry Licensing Board administers HVAC contractor licensing. To qualify, you must meet experience and education requirements set by [Fla. Stat. § 489.113]. This statute establishes qualifications for practice, including:

• Documented work experience in air conditioning contracting

• Compliance with all restrictions imposed by the board

You must apply directly to the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (part of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation). Submit your application with proof of experience, examination results, and required fees. The board will review your qualifications against the standards in [Fla.

These include certain maintenance work and repairs performed by property owners on their own property, as well as work by salaried employees of licensed contractors under direct supervision. However, exemptions are narrowly construed. Review the statute directly to determine whether your specific work qualifies for an exemption.
