Licensing
Do you need a license in Arkansas?
Air duct cleaning is generally not separately licensed in Arkansas, though a local business license may be required to operate. If your work extends to repairing or modifying HVAC equipment rather than just cleaning ducts, separate mechanical licensing rules could apply. A NISCR certificate is a professional credential, not a government license, so verify current local and state requirements before working.
A NISCR Certificate of Completion confirms completion of NISCR training and examination. It is a professional credential, not a government license. Where local law requires a license to perform a service, the technician is responsible for obtaining it.
