How do I verify a HVAC contractor is licensed in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin does not issue a dedicated statewide HVAC contractor license — any contractor doing residential work over $1,000 must hold a Dwelling Contractor certification (business) plus a Dwelling Contractor Qualifier (individual) credential from the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). Gas-fired equipment also requires the installer to hold an HVAC Qualifier and, for plumbing/gas, a Master Plumber or Plumbing-Restricted Service credential. Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay each require local mechanical licensing as well. Verify at licensesearch.wi.gov.
