Does an HVAC contractor need a license in New Jersey?

Yes. New Jersey licenses master HVACR contractors through the State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors. Verify the number with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs license lookup.

Are there rebates for heat pumps and efficient equipment?

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program and local utilities often offer rebates or financing for qualifying heat pumps, furnaces and boilers. Ask which programs match the equipment in your quote.

What should I ask before hiring an HVAC contractor?

Ask for the license number, proof of insurance, a load calculation for new systems, equipment model numbers, warranty terms in writing and whether permits are included.
