HVAC contractors in California must hold a state license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). The relevant classification for heating and cooling work is C-20, Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Contractor. Before hiring, you can verify a contractor's license status and view complaint information by searching the CSLB online system using the business name or license number.

Building permits are often required for HVAC work in California. Code requirements vary by city and county, so contact your local building department to confirm what your project needs. Your contractor should be familiar with these requirements for your area.

When you contact Five Star Cooling or any HVAC contractor, ask whether they hold the required C-20 license, request their license number so you can verify it with CSLB, and confirm what permits and inspections your project will involve. It is also wise to get the terms of any service contract in writing before work begins.
