Why verification matters

An oversized or badly installed system wastes thousands in energy and fails early. Licensed HVAC contractors load-calc the job, handle refrigerant legally, and keep your equipment warranty valid.

Why ContractorRoster

The state board's job ends at the license. Ours starts there.

HVAC licensing varies by state: different rules, different registries, different data formats. Most state boards don't surface contact info at all. ContractorRoster normalizes the data and delivers every active HVAC license in your market with phone, email, and website in one clean CSV, delivered to your inbox shortly.

California: California requires all contractors performing work valued over $500 to hold an active CSLB license. The CSLB registry is one of the most comprehensive in the country, with roughly 280,000 active licenses across all trades.
