Before anyone works on your furnace, AC or gas lines, take five minutes to check their license and insurance. Here’s how, using Aegis as the example.
1. Look up the license
Use the Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) license lookup. Search by business name or license number and check that the status is active and the classification covers HVAC work. Aegis Heating and Air holds Utah DOPL S350 Mechanical Contractor License 7482916-5501, which covers gas piping.
2. Ask for a certificate of insurance
A certificate of insurance (COI) lists the carrier, policy and limits. Aegis carries general liability through The Hartford ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate) and workers’ compensation through WCF Insurance, and sends a COI on request.
3. Check bonding and local licensing
Aegis carries a $10,000 Old Republic surety bond and West Valley City Business License WVC-2024-05876.
4. Ask about technician certifications
EPA Section 608 is required to handle refrigerant; NATE certification is a voluntary industry credential. All six Aegis field technicians hold EPA 608 Universal, and three hold NATE certifications.
5. Watch for red flags
- No license number, or a number that doesn’t match the business name
- Cash-only, no written estimate
- Pressure to sign the same day
- Subcontracting the work to an unnamed crew
