    There are quite a few.

    tim,



    In the HVAC trade here in Maine we are required to carry 4 licenses plus our EPA card.



    Maine Oil Burner Technicians license. Master or Journeyman.

    These are broken down by oil type and burner firing rate,

    1 & 2 Oils, up to 15 GPH (residential)

    or

    1 & 2 Oils, over 15 GPH (commercial - institutional)

    or

    1-6 Oils, unlimited GPH (all oil burners, residential, commercial - institutional, and industrial)



    Maine Solid Fuel Technician. Required for wood, pellet or coal fired boilers.



    LP & Natural Gas Technician, with specific endorsements.

    Appliance Installation and Service Tech, up to 500,000 BTU/Hr

    Large Appliance Installation and Service Tech, over 500,000 BTU/Hr

    Tank Setter and Outside Pipe Tech (covers LP piping from the tank to the second stage regulator. Not a lot of natural gas up here yet.)



    Maine Plumbing License. Master or Journeyman



    EPA Universal 608 Certification.



    My company is a Commercial, Institutional, Industrial service company and these are the licenses that we require from our service techs. You will most likely be able to transfer your hours and experience in to take the Master or Journeyman exam in these areas. Journeyman license is required to work without direct supervision (Master not with you at all times).



    If you have specific questions. Let me know. Good Luck.
