Important Question

BrandonB

Hello Everyone I am interested in knowing if anyone knows if there is an age requirement for HVAC&R in the state of Maine. I am currently 15 years old and have been an HVAC&R tech since the age of 13 with my father ( he owns his own Company ) I know the basics like reading gauges changing filters cleaning coils Installing ductless split cooling systems and have run gas piping and have installed a few boilers as well as some tin knocking. I know more than your average beginner, and am not afraid to get cut or brused. And I graduate in two years and was hoping if able to go to school for HVAC&R that by that time I would be licensed by some degree please respond if anyone knows of the Age requirement. Greatly appreciated.

I've been searching over a lot of websites and their are some online HVACR schools that needs 18 years old. But then when I dig much further, it seems that Maine contractors doesn't need license in Maine.

Although a blog post says that the state requires them for an EPA certification.
