The Connecticut HVAC Technician Guide

Connecticut routes HVAC work through DCP heating, piping, cooling, and sheet-metal license classes rather than one generic HVAC technician title. The S-2 unlimited heating, piping, and cooling journeyperson license is the broad official class, while limited classes such as S-10 may apply to narrower work. Verify the actual task scope before applying.
