How do I verify a HVAC contractor is licensed in Vermont?
Vermont does not issue a dedicated HVAC contractor license. However, any gas-fired equipment requires a state Plumber license through the OPR Plumber's Examining Board, and electrical connections require a state Electrician license through the Electrician's Licensing Board. Contractors doing $10,000+ residential work must register with the Vermont Residential Contractor registry (Office of Professional Regulation). Verify all credentials at sos.vermont.gov/opr — confirm Active status, current liability insurance, and workers' comp coverage.
