In California, most HVAC work requires a contractor to hold a C-20 (Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Contractor) license from the Contractor's State License Board (CSLB). Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds the correct license classification for the work you need.

Check whether your project requires a building permit. Code requirements differ by city and county across California. Contact your local building department—in South San Francisco, the city building department—to confirm permit needs. The California Building Standards Code requires a permit for most HVAC construction, alteration, or installation work.

When interviewing contractors, ask to see their license and verify it through the CSLB online license checker. Review the contractor's complaint history and insurance coverage. Get a written contract that spells out the scope of work, timeline, and cost before any job begins.
