During a recent visit to the great Northwest, a Portland, OR, hvacr contractor told me that all it took to be licensed to sell and service hvacr equipment in that state was $55. For a $55 licensing fee, anyone could set up shop and compete with you in Oregon. That doesn’t seem right.
What’s even worse is that some states require no licensing at all. Should contractors be forced to compete against unlicensed and untrained technicians for a slice of the hvacr market?
