Heating Contractor - Equivalent Out of State License
Review the scope of work for available license types for Heating, Piping and Cooling, Sheet Metal Work, or Hearth Product Work to determine the proper license to apply for.
An equivalent out of state license is one that required the same number of classroom hours, equivalent classroom curriculum, and on job training hours as the license type you are applying for.
Example: For your out of state license to be equivalent to the Connecticut S-1 license, your out of state license must have required 576 classroom hours and 12,000 hours of the job training to obtain.
