How Alaska licenses HVAC work
HVAC contractors are licensed by the state.
License types: Residential HVAC (RHVC), Unlimited HVAC/Sheet Metal (UHVCS), Unlimited Refrigeration (UR), Heating, Cooling and Process Piping (HCPP), Mechanical Systems Temperature Control (CNTL).
Companies: Alaska licenses the individual 'mechanical administrator' who supervises mechanical (HVAC, refrigeration, hydronic) work: AS 08.40.260(a) says a person may not act as a mechanical administrator without a license unless excluded under AS 08.40.390. The division also lists mechanical contractors among the contractor types that must hold an Alaska construction contractor registration (AS 08.18).
Local rules: AS 08.40.390 lists exclusions from mechanical administrator licensing (for example some work in small or remote communities and work for utilities and municipalities on their own systems); local permit rules were not confirmed.
Check a license: commerce.alaska.gov
Look up both the company's construction contractor registration and the mechanical administrator's license on the state search, and ask which administrator will supervise your job.
Federal rule: in every state, technicians who handle refrigerant must hold EPA Section 608 certification, whatever the state or city requires.

Before you hire
Ask for the license number and check it on the official lookup where one exists. Ask for proof of insurance and a written, itemized estimate, and ask who pulls the permit if the job needs one – a new furnace, heat pump or air conditioner usually does.
