Hiring an HVAC contractor in Nevada
Nevada licenses contractors at the state level, and its board publishes the records you need.
Four checks
Look the company up
The NSCB license search works by license number, company name or the name of a principal. Confirm the license is active.
Read the classification
Air conditioning work sits under C-21. C-21b covers full installation and service; C-21d covers maintenance and part replacement only (NAC 624.380).
Ask about the license limit
Nevada licenses carry a monetary limit. The board can deny a recovery fund claim when a contract exceeded the limit or the classification.
Match the ad to the license
Ads by a licensed Nevada contractor must show the company name and license number, and using a number that is not your own valid license is unlawful (NSCB on unlawful advertising).
Questions to ask
- 01
Who pulls the permit?
It should be the contractor, in its own name.
- 02
How was the size worked out?
Look for a load calculation, not the old unit's label.
- 03
What exactly is included?
Coil, line set, pad, electrical, drain, thermostat, haul-away and start-up.
- 04
What warranty covers parts and labor?
Manufacturer and contractor warranties are separate; get both in writing.
The Residential Recovery Fund
Created by the Legislature in 1999 and run by the Nevada State Contractors Board, the fund can help owners who live in a single-family home and suffered a loss from a licensed residential contractor. It does not cover work by unlicensed contractors, and a complaint has to be filed within four years after the work is completed (Residential Recovery Fund). The board does not choose a contractor to fix the problem; the homeowner does.
