In Utah, the S350 HVAC License is required for professionals who engage in the construction, alteration, installation, maintenance, and repair of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. This license is essential for contractors who perform tasks such as:
Note: Contractors must hire or subcontract with an RMGA-certified licensed contractor for any gas-related work, as the S350 license does not cover gas-related installations directly. Additionally, the S350 license does not include electrical or plumbing trade work, so contractors in those areas must also be licensed separately.
The S350 HVAC Contractor License is specialized for HVAC work, focusing on the installation and maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. This license overlaps with the General Electrical (E200) and General Plumbing (P200) licenses, which may involve some HVAC-related tasks but are primarily focused on their respective fields.
The S350 does not overlap with licenses like the Landscape & Recreation (S330), which deals with outdoor and recreational installations, or the General Building (B100), which covers broader construction activities without the HVAC specialization. You must subcontract licensed professionals in these fields when necessary.
To obtain the S350 HVAC Contractor License in Utah, applicants must meet the following requirements:
No prior work experience is required for this license classification.
Complete Pre-Licensure Course:
Completion of a 25-hour pre-licensing course approved by the state.
Secure required general liability insurance as mandated by Utah state regulations. We can help get you covered in this area. In addition, you’ll need to demonstrate financial responsibility by providing necessary financial documentation, such as financial statements or a surety bond.
Complete and submit your application with all necessary documentation, including proof of experience and education, along with the required application and licensing fees. Our team is available to guide you through every step of this process.
Six hours of continuing education are required each licensing period prior to renewal, with at least three specialty hours directly related to HVAC system work, and one hour focusing on energy conservation. These hours can be done in-person or on our website. HVAC classes will begin around Q2 of each odd-number year.

Of these six hours, three must be directly related to HVAC work, such as installation, repair, or replacement of HVAC systems. Additionally, one hour must focus on energy conservation.

Additionally, it is important to comply with all state and federal labor laws, including those related to employee classification, payroll, and workplace safety.
If your S350 HVAC license application is denied, you will receive a notification outlining the reasons for the denial. You have the option to appeal the decision or address the deficiencies noted in the denial notice and reapply. It is advisable to review the application requirements thoroughly and ensure all necessary documentation and qualifications are met before reapplying.
The renewal process for the S350 HVAC license involves submitting a renewal application, completing the required continuing education hours, and paying the associated renewal fees.
