HVAC licensing in Nevada

There is no Nevada HVAC worker card to bring — the State Contractors Board licenses the CONTRACTING entity under NRS/NAC chapter 624, classification C-21, split into C-21A (refrigeration) and C-21B (air conditioning). The company-side door is LICENSURE BY ENDORSEMENT, and its mechanics matter: endorsement is equivalency-chart driven and classification-scoped — a chart exists per partner state, and a classification only transfers if that state's chart carries a match for it.

The employer asks the NSCB for the chart covering their home state; nothing about your own resume moves or needs to.

Nothing pending for you — no personal state license exists. Company-side interim work during an NSCB application was not established.

Contractor-level, carried by the trade qualified individual: at least four full years within the last fifteen as a journeyman, supervising employee or contractor in the exact classification requested, documented by certification-of-experience forms. Your personal floor is EPA 608.

No apprentice card — no worker card of any kind. Crew experience plus EPA 608 is the Nevada path.

⚠️ The key open question: whether CLARK COUNTY (Las Vegas) or WASHOE COUNTY (Reno) — where most of Nevada's work actually is — requires an individual HVAC card for permitted work. Not established. Call the county building department before treating Nevada as an all-clear.

The company holds the C-21A and/or C-21B with a qualified individual on the license — confirm the SUBCLASS matches the work, because refrigeration and air conditioning are separately scoped here. Contract directly and you are the contractor.
