Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify a HVAC contractor is licensed in South Dakota?
South Dakota does not issue a statewide HVAC contractor license. Any gas-fired equipment requires a state Plumbing license through the South Dakota Plumbing Commission, and electrical hookups need a Master Electrician license from the State Electrical Commission. HVAC installation itself is licensed municipally — Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Aberdeen each require local mechanical registration through their Building Services departments. Always confirm active credentials, current general-liability insurance, and any city bond.
