License levels in Utah

Utah HVAC technician licensing at a glance

RequirementsSpecialty contractor requires a 25-hour pre-licensure course from an approved provider (ABC, UHBA, or AGC of Utah), general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per incident / $2,000,000 aggregate), a registered Utah business entity, federal EIN, and workers' comp coverage or waiver. New H100 HVAC qualifier path adds passing the Utah Business & Law exam and HVAC (H100) exam through ProV plus 2 years of HVAC experience (W-2 verified).
ReciprocityNo named-state reciprocity list; Utah runs a general licensure-by-endorsement route that expressly covers HVAC. The Division of Professional Licensing's 'Endorsement to Utah: Contractor' document (Utah Code 58-55, Utah Admin. Code R156-55a) classifies other states by whether their license is equivalent to a Utah license, limited to specific classifications, or has no Utah equivalent. For the 'limited to specific classifications' group the document states that those states do not require licensure for contractors in general but may require a license for a specific specialty equivalent to a Utah classification, giving Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC and Elevator as examples, so HVAC is named as a specialty the endorsement route covers. Conditions: the applicant must have held the license type indicated for at least one year and the license must be in good standing; for entity endorsement there must be at least 50% common ownership with the out-of-state licensed entity; official license verification, proof of insurance and workers' compensation and standard fees are required. This is not a blanket examination waiver, the applicant must still meet the experience and examination requirements specific to the classification requested under 58-55 and R156-55a. Note that the endorsement document carries a last-updated date of 9/21/2020, so its state-by-state classification should be confirmed with DOPL before being relied on.
RenewalPage links to renewal/CE sections but does not state the cycle explicitly (Utah contractor licenses renew on a 2-year cycle).
