Abandonment of Application for Licensure Grandfather Applications  

The State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) Contractors (“Board”) determined to enforce the provision of Abandonment of Application for Licensure for the expired grandfather statute.

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:32A-2.8, an application for a license will be deemed abandoned if an applicant has not submitted all of the information and documentation required to obtain a license and one year has elapsed since the first notice was sent to the applicant regarding the deficiencies in the application. If an application is deemed abandoned, the Board will close the application without notice and dispose of any information or documentation submitted by the applicant, pursuant to the Division of Consumer Affairs’ records retention plan. An applicant whose application has been deemed abandoned may reapply for licensure.

In light of the Abandonment of Application for Licensure provision, the Board has awarded additional three months to submit any missing documentation. Failure to complete your application within the time allotted will result in the administrative closure of your application for licensure. Any missing documentation must be submitted to the Board by June 30, 2023.


This board licenses and regulates heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractors in New Jersey.

​ The purpose of the Board is:
  • to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people of New Jersey;
  • to regulate the practice of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration; and
  • to ensure that heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration is performed in compliance with State law.
The Board protects the public by:
  • making sure that heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractors meet all educational requirements for licensure;
  • investigating and prosecuting heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractors who have broken the state's consumer protection laws; and
  • requiring all heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractors to be licensed by the state and to renew their licenses every two years.
