Have to be registered as a tech then need to take a test to become a certified after 2 yrs as a certified tech you can take exam for contractors. It’s all about paying your fees every year for hrs to count
Watching this makes me wonder just how did the first contractors obtain a license to hire people that could get the 4-year experience to meet the state requirements.
@@constructionseminars4197 okay I kinda figured that, and didn't have to slave under someone, to gain full freedom and autonomy, it reminds me of the operating engineers union or mafia lol got to work x hours through them before state will grant license , Guess I will keep my 40 years experience working power systems and hvac to federal projects or overseas endeavors 🙂
@@Brycewayne199 Yeah I know but sometimes it is a pain in the butt if you are capable of learning without forking funds over to something akin to the mafia...They too learned by doing no sheep skin required to get yourself educated, at 58 still learning and acquiring new skills
If you have met the experience requirement, you can apply straight for the contractor's license. There is not a requirement to become a certified tech first.
You do not have to become a certified technician first. Your 15 years of experience (as long as it was under a licensed HVAC contractor) qualifies you for testing for your own license.
Contact the TDLR. Document your attempts to get him to sign, after 15 days of attempting to get him to sign-off with no results the TDLR will contact him to make him sign.
I currently have an HVAC contractors license from a different state for the past 4 years, If i planned on moving to TX, how similar would the process be for me? or would it be different?
What if i did hvac in illinois. I have two years under a company plus previous experience in illinois. I have heard that the last two years have to be with the same company
Your Illinois experience can count towards your Texas HVAC license. You just need to send your paperwork to your former companies to get them to sign off on your experience.
I’ve done hvac for the last 10 yrs at one company until it close bc they retired and now 2 more yrs at another company at ended last friday unfortunately I need my license asap. And don’t think they would sign off on my 4yr but I can prove it with bank records and other ways I’m sure?
What is the risk to with a subcontractor (he has EPA); He says works under a licensed contractor (verified). Should out contractor be me and the licensed contractor or with Subcontractor?
@@Turfgreenpro oh shit bro I’m damn near done I grad out in December bro! Lol my opinion has changed yes 4 years seems suitable to start yo business I’ve learned so much and love HVAC bro you’re not to old JUMP HEAD FIRST SO MUCH MONEY AND OPPORTUNITIES‼️ bro do it seriously it’ll change yo life

They were grandfathered in when they first started licensing.

One would have had to pass a city or county exam to do business in said area.
Can you apply straight to a contractor license
Or do you have to have your ACR and Technician certification first?
If you have met the experience requirement, you can apply straight for the contractor's license. There is not a requirement to become a certified tech first.
This guy is the man!!!
here my question sir: im a registered HVAC tech for a 15 years so can I apply for contractor license? or I have to tramit like a certified tech first?
You do not have to become a certified technician first. Your 15 years of experience (as long as it was under a licensed HVAC contractor) qualifies you for testing for your own license.
What if the boss with the license don't want to sign-off you?
Contact the TDLR. Document your attempts to get him to sign, after 15 days of attempting to get him to sign-off with no results the TDLR will contact him to make him sign.
Great video. Do I need to send a money order of $115 when I send in my application?
A check, or money order is required to be sent with your application to the TDLR.

The process is the same. Experience counts regardless of what state you are coming from.
So before we even come to class we should get the signatures of proof of employment under another contractor??
Ideally you would want to be approved to take the exam before going to class. That way the material is fresh in your mind when you go to test.
What if i did hvac in illinois.
I have two years under a company plus previous experience in illinois.
I have heard that the last two years have to be with the same company

Do you have classes in Spanish ? Or just English? I’m very interested for classes in Irving
We only have classes in English. The test is in English as well as the books, so we only offer English classes.

Contact the TDLR and tell them about your situation. (512) 463-6599 I am sure that they will have a solution for you.

Schooling can count for up to half of your experience requirement.
