STATE C-20CSLB
HVAC contractors operating in San Bernardino must adhere to both state-level licensing through the CSLB and local municipal requirements. The C-20 license is the primary credential, supplemented by mandatory Title 24 energy compliance and local business registration. Failure to secure proper permits for equipment installation can lead to significant project delays and potential enforcement actions.
Compliance involves a multi-step process including permit application, adherence to California Building Standards, and final inspection sign-off. Contractors should ensure all documentation, including HERS testing reports where applicable, is submitted to the City of San Bernardino Building and Safety Division to ensure project closure and legal compliance.
