How Minnesota licenses HVAC work
There is no statewide HVAC contractor license that we could find; cities or counties license HVAC work.
Who licenses: Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (Construction Codes and Licensing) – files the mechanical contractor bond only
Local rules: Minnesota issues no state mechanical or HVAC contractor license; DLI states there is no state license, but under Minn. Stat. 326B.197 anyone contracting for heating, ventilation, cooling, air conditioning, gas, fuel-burning or refrigeration work must file a $25,000 bond with DLI, and cities set their own licensing (for example Minneapolis requires an HVAC Class A or Class B license, and some cities require competency cards).
Check a license: secure.doli.state.mn.us
Check the company's $25,000 mechanical bond on the DLI bond lookup, then ask your city whether it also requires a local HVAC license and permit.
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.
