HVAC Licensing Requirements in Delaware

In Delaware, individuals who perform HVACR services must hold a license from the Delaware Board of Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Examiners, which is part of the Division of Professional Regulation.

Mandatory Requirements

Master HVACR License: Allows you to perform all types of HVACR services without limitation.

Master HVACR Restricted License: Limits your practice to one of several specialties (e.g., Heating - Forced Air Systems, Ventilation, and Gas Piping; Heating - Hydronic Systems and Gas Piping; Commercial Hood Systems; Refrigeration; Air Conditioning; Gas Piping).1

HVACR Contractor License (Business Registration): If you wish to operate your own HVACR contracting business, you must also be licensed as a contractor through the Delaware Division of Revenue. This is a business registration, not a trade license.

Age: You must be at least 18 years old.

Education/Experience: You must meet one of the following criteria to qualify for the Master HVACR exam:

Journeyman Certificate + Experience: Hold a Journeyman HVACR Certificate of Completion from an approved apprenticeship program (typically 4 years of training with at least 144 hours/year of education) andhave at least two years of work experience under the direct supervision of a Master HVACR licensee after receiving your Journeyman Certificate.

Extensive Work Experience (Apprenticeship By-Pass): Provide proof of at least seven years of work experience under the direct supervision of a Master HVACR licensee AND pass an "Apprenticeship By-Pass Exam" (offered by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Delaware).

Examination: You must pass the relevant Master HVACR or Master HVACR Restricted examination administered by ProV Testing Services. The exam is typically 100 questions, 4 hours, and open-book, requiring a 70% passing score.

EPA Section 608 Certification: Required for handling refrigerants. You must provide a copy of your CFC Certification card. Know more

Insurance (for the Contractor License): You will need to obtain:

Liability Insurance: Specific coverage amounts are generally required.

Workers' Compensation Insurance: Required if you have employees.

Surety Bond (for the Contractor License): Generally, contractors are required to obtain a surety bond.

Business Registration (for Contractor License): If operating a business, you must register with the Delaware Division of Revenue. This process has been simplified with Delaware's One Stop Business Registration and Licensing System.

State/Jurisdiction Licensure Verification: If you hold or have held a license in another state or U.S. territory, you must have verification sent directly to the Board office.

How to Get an HVAC Contractor License in Delaware

Meet Basic Requirements: Ensure you meet the age and initial experience/education prerequisites for either the Journeyman or the Apprenticeship By-Pass route.
Gain Journeyman Experience (if applicable):
Enroll and complete a registered HVAC apprenticeship program (4 years, 144 hours/year education).
Work for two years under the direct supervision of a Master HVACR licensee after completing the apprenticeship.
Alternatively, if not following the apprenticeship program, gain seven years of supervised work experience under a Master HVACR licensee.
Obtain Journeyman Certificate (if applicable): Receive your Journeyman Certificate of Completion from your apprenticeship program or pass the Apprenticeship By-Pass Exam if you took the experience-only route.
Obtain EPA Section 608 Certification: Pass the required EPA exam.
Create a DELPROS Account: Go to the DELPROS (Delaware Professional Regulation Online Services) portal to create an account.
Apply for Master HVACR Exam Pre-Approval: Begin the online application for Master HVACR licensure through DELPROS. Upload all required supporting documents (proof of apprenticeship/experience, CFC certification, etc.). Note: You only have six months to submit your application once you start it.

Receive Exam Eligibility: Once your application is reviewed and approved by the Board, you will be notified that you may take the Master HVACR exam.

Schedule and Pass Examination: Register and pass the Master HVACR or Master HVACR Restricted examination through ProV Testing Services.

Complete Licensing Application: After passing the exam, complete any remaining parts of the online application through DELPROS and pay the licensing fees.

Register as a Contractor (for business owners): Once you hold your Master HVACR license, register your business with the Delaware Division of Revenue to operate as an HVACR contractor. Obtain necessary liability insurance and a surety bond.
Receive Your Licenses/Registrations: Upon successful completion of all steps, you will receive your Master HVACR license and your contractor registration.

Additional Considerations

Master HVACR Restricted: If you plan to specialize, consider the restricted license, but be aware of its limitations.

Continuing Education: Currently, Delaware does not require continuing education for Master HVACR licenses for renewal.

License Renewal: HVACR licenses typically need to be renewed every two years.

Reciprocity: Delaware has reciprocity agreements with Maryland and Virginia for Master HVACR licenses, provided the licensure standards in the other state are "substantially similar" to Delaware's and you hold an active license in good standing. You will still need to apply and potentially provide detailed documentation for evaluation.

Local Requirements: Some cities or counties may have additional business licensing or registration requirements beyond the state-level contractor registration.

How to Get an HVAC Contractor License in Delaware

Meet Basic Requirements: Ensure you meet the age and initial experience/education prerequisites for either the Journeyman or the Apprenticeship By-Pass route.
Gain Journeyman Experience (if applicable):
Enroll and complete a registered HVAC apprenticeship program (4 years, 144 hours/year education).
Work for two years under the direct supervision of a Master HVACR licensee after completing the apprenticeship.
Alternatively, if not following the apprenticeship program, gain seven years of supervised work experience under a Master HVACR licensee.
Obtain Journeyman Certificate (if applicable): Receive your Journeyman Certificate of Completion from your apprenticeship program or pass the Apprenticeship By-Pass Exam if you took the experience-only route.
Obtain EPA Section 608 Certification: Pass the required EPA exam.
Create a DELPROS Account: Go to the DELPROS (Delaware Professional Regulation Online Services) portal to create an account.
Apply for Master HVACR Exam Pre-Approval: Begin the online application for Master HVACR licensure through DELPROS. Upload all required supporting documents (proof of apprenticeship/experience, CFC certification, etc.). Note: You only have six months to submit your application once you start it.

Receive Exam Eligibility: Once your application is reviewed and approved by the Board, you will be notified that you may take the Master HVACR exam.

Schedule and Pass Examination: Register and pass the Master HVACR or Master HVACR Restricted examination through ProV Testing Services.

Complete Licensing Application: After passing the exam, complete any remaining parts of the online application through DELPROS and pay the licensing fees.

Register as a Contractor (for business owners): Once you hold your Master HVACR license, register your business with the Delaware Division of Revenue to operate as an HVACR contractor. Obtain necessary liability insurance and a surety bond.
Receive Your Licenses/Registrations: Upon successful completion of all steps, you will receive your Master HVACR license and your contractor registration.

Additional Considerations

Master HVACR Restricted: If you plan to specialize, consider the restricted license, but be aware of its limitations.

Continuing Education: Currently, Delaware does not require continuing education for Master HVACR licenses for renewal.

License Renewal: HVACR licenses typically need to be renewed every two years.

Reciprocity: Delaware has reciprocity agreements with Maryland and Virginia for Master HVACR licenses, provided the licensure standards in the other state are "substantially similar" to Delaware's and you hold an active license in good standing. You will still need to apply and potentially provide detailed documentation for evaluation.

Local Requirements: Some cities or counties may have additional business licensing or registration requirements beyond the state-level contractor registration.
