HVAC licenses in
Nebraska
Nebraska has no statewide license for HVAC contractors. Cities and counties license them.
There's no state search to run. Check the license with the city or county where the work is (see below).
What the license should say
License types vary by city or county. Ask which local license they hold and check it with that office.
Hiring a company, not a person?
No state HVAC license; the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration applies to all contractors but is not a skills license, and cities such as Lincoln register mechanical trade contractors.
