Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 875-301
in effectSec. 875-301. - License required.
Licensure as a heating and cooling contractor of the appropriate type is required to install, modernize, replace, service or repair all or any part of a heating system, space heating equipment, a cooling system, space cooling equipment, refrigeration equipment, or installation of ductwork for an exhaust hood greater than four (4) square feet in a Class 2 structure and installation of duct work for an exhaust hood in any Class 1 structure.
Construction which this article allows licensed heating and cooling contractors to carry out is hereafter referred to in this article as "heating and cooling work."
A person not licensed under this article who is employed by a licensed heating and cooling contractor may, however, accomplish heating and cooling work while working under the direction and control of a person who is a licensed heating and cooling contractor, but shall not otherwise enter into or offer to enter into a contractual relationship to engage in the heating and cooling work. The scope of activity of such nonlicensed person shall not extend beyond that allowed by the license type of the licensed heating and cooling contractor providing direction and control over the nonlicensed person.
A person not licensed under this article may, however, accomplish heating and cooling work in carrying out ordinary maintenance and repair if such work is accomplished by the person in the regular course of his sole, full-time employment by the owner of the premises where such ordinary maintenance and repair occurs. Persons, partnerships or corporations engaged in the business of service and repair, however, must be licensed under this chapter.
