Notes

Renewal fee $150 per 3-year term (Board fee table). Requires journeyman experience and exam. Specialty Contractor and Limited Heating Specialty Contractor carry the same $225/$150/$225 fees and 3-year term. Application fee $35; initial license fee $225. Idaho Code 54-5013 still states a 24-month certificate term and a $35 revival fee, which differs from the Board fee table term and reinstatement fees; the Board fee table is used. The HVAC Board page states that the Board moves to biennial licensure on October 30, 2026, with renewals expiring on the licensee's birthday and the renewal fee charged for whole years; the DOPL notice for this change says licenses valid for more than two years are not affected. Check the new expiration date in the DOPL online account after renewing. The exact expiration date is shown in the licensee's DOPL online account.
