Licensing
Do you need a license in New York?
Dryer vent installation can be more regulated than cleaning because routing new vents may fall under building, mechanical, or contractor codes in New York, with permitting and licensing rules often set at the city or county level. Work tied to construction or remodeling may require licensed trades. Verify current state and local building and contractor requirements before installation work, and note a NISCR certificate is a professional credential, not a government license.
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.
