How do I verify a HVAC contractor is licensed in Maine?
Maine does not issue a statewide HVAC contractor license — however, the specific fuel work requires a credential: oil-burner and solid-fuel installers need an active Oil & Solid Fuel Technician license, and gas work requires a Propane & Natural Gas Technician license (both through the Maine Office of Professional and Occupational Regulation). Verify at pfr.maine.gov/ALMSOnline. Electrical hookups need a state Master Electrician. Municipalities (Portland, Bangor, Lewiston) may also require a local business registration, current liability insurance, and any local bond.
