01 The project

The starting point is the work itself — HVAC Replacement in Nevada. The job determines which trades are involved, and the trades determine which license classifications may be required.

Component	Trade
Existing heating or cooling system	HVAC

02 Jurisdiction

This project is evaluated for Nevada — a state that requires a contractor license at any price: NRS 624.700 makes it unlawful to engage in the business or act as a contractor, or to submit a bid, without an active license, and an unlicensed bid or contract is void ab initio. There is no statewide dollar threshold anywhere (a verified absence), the license belongs to the business and is qualified by an individual, the classification scopes live in the NAC, the Board sets a monetary ceiling and a mandatory bond — and NRS 624.035 lets every county and city require MORE. Nevada jurisdiction page.

Limitation — the local layer is not researched beyond Las Vegas

Permit fees, plan-review timelines, exemption lists and every other city's rules were researched ONLY for the documented City of Las Vegas example (state license + city business license gate contractor permit issuance); every other Nevada locality remains LOCAL_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED, and Clark County runs its own building department (named, not researched). The official NRS/NAC host returns HTTP 403 to this environment, so statutory text was read on a non-commercial mirror retaining the official section anchors — a published limitation on the hub. State requirements are not the complete story for any locality.

03 Trade → license

Relations below are recorded per state — only this jurisdiction's classifications are shown.

Trades involved: HVAC.

May require C-21 — Refrigeration and air-conditioning confirmed S-NV-NAC-380 rule NV-HVAC-CLASS
C-21b AIR-CONDITIONING verbatim: 'installation, repair, service and maintenance of equipment, devices, machinery, units and related ductwork which use evaporation, refrigeration, boilers or combustion for the control of air temperatures…' — the replacement answer. C-21d MAINTENANCE is narrower (no complete condenser replacement on remote systems, no air handlers, no design-altering work) — rule NV-HVAC-CLASS decides which subclass the facts need. Heating/air-conditioning is named in the NRS 624.031(6)(b) carve-out: the $1,000 repair exemption NEVER applies to HVAC work, and NRS 624.220(4)(b)'s out-of-class relief excludes air-conditioning too (research §L.4).
Alternative path C-1 — Plumbing and heating contracting confirmed S-NV-NAC-190 rule NV-HVAC-CLASS
Official alternative for NON-refrigeration work: C-1f HEATING, COOLING AND CIRCULATING AIR covers heating, evaporative cooling and air circulation (incl. solar equipment) but expressly does NOT authorize 'cooling systems which use refrigeration as an integral part of the system' — a straight forced-air furnace or evaporative-cooler swap without refrigeration sits here (rule NV-HVAC-CLASS from the equipment facts) (research §L.4).

04 Scope

06 Rule: NV-HVAC-CLASS

Temperature-control classification: equipment using evaporation, refrigeration, boilers or combustion for controlling air temperature → C-21b AIR-CONDITIONING under primary C-21 (NAC 624.380); NON-refrigeration heating and evaporative cooling → C-1f under primary C-1 (NAC 624.190, which does NOT authorize cooling systems using refrigeration); C-21d MAINTENANCE excludes complete condenser replacement on remote systems, air handlers and design-altering work. Missing facts yield NOT_DETERMINED.

Outcome	Conclusion	Caveats
c21b-refrigeration-work	c21b_air_conditioning_required	The $1,000 repair exemption NEVER applies to heating/air-conditioning work — NRS 624.031(6)(b) names it (rule NV-REPAIR-EXEMPT), and NRS 624.220(4)(b)'s out-of-class relief excludes air-conditioning. NAC 624.380: C-21 work is 'not incidental or supplemental' to other specialty work — a C-15/C-3 specialty contractor cannot fold AC work in as incidental. Local permit: LOCAL_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED.
c1f-non-refrigeration	c1f_heating_evaporative_cooling	The dividing line is REFRIGERATION: a refrigeration-based cooling system moves the answer to C-21b. Heating/air-conditioning work is still carved out of the $1,000 repair exemption (NRS 624.031(6)(b)) — 'non-refrigeration' does NOT mean 'exempt'.
c21d-cannot-cover	c21d_maintenance_subclass_excludes_this_work	Published so a maintenance-limited licensee is never told the narrow subclass covers a design-altering job.
c21d-sufficient	c21d_maintenance_subclass_sufficient	ANY complete condenser replacement (remote systems), air-handler work or design alteration flips to C-21b. Non-refrigeration heating/evaporative-cooler work is C-1f, not C-21 at all.

Rule confidence: confirmed. Missing inputs produce NOT_DETERMINED — never a forced answer. Sources: S-NV-NAC-380 S-NV-NAC-190

07 Rule: NV-LICENSE-REQUIRED

Statewide licensing decision (NRS 624.700): it is unlawful to engage in the business or act in the capacity of a contractor in Nevada, or to submit a bid on a Nevada job, without an ACTIVE license — and a bid or contract submitted in violation is void ab initio. There is NO statewide dollar threshold (verified absence): license is required for construction/alteration regardless of price, subject only to the NRS 624.031 exemptions (SEPARATE rules NV-REPAIR-EXEMPT, NV-OWNER-BUILDER). Missing facts yield NOT_DETERMINED.

Outcome	Conclusion	Caveats
license-required	statewide_license_required	There is NO Nevada dollar threshold — price never decides this question (verified absence, REQ-NV-NO-THRESHOLD-001). The twelve NRS 624.031 exemptions were NOT evaluated here — check rules NV-REPAIR-EXEMPT and NV-OWNER-BUILDER (set exemption_applies only from those tests). Penalties for unlicensed contracting: 1st misdemeanor ≤ $1,000/≤ 6 months; 2nd gross misdemeanor $2,000–$4,000/≤ 1 year; 3rd+ category E felony $5,000–$10,000/1–4 years (NSCB FAQ). Locales may require an ADDITIONAL license (NRS 624.035) — permits stay LOCAL_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED.
license-already-held	license_already_held	Holding a license is not holding THE RIGHT classification — out-of-class work follows NRS 624.220(4) (rule NV-SPECIALTY-INCIDENTAL). The bond must be continuous and the license active (NRS 624.270/624.283).
exempt	exempt_from_licensure	Exemptions are narrow and conditional — NEVER set exemption_applies = true without evaluating the specific NRS 624.031 item's conditions. Even exempt persons may NOT advertise as contractors (NRS 624.720(1) — rule NV-ADVERTISING). Local permits, codes and any local licensing still apply.
not-contracting	outside_chapter_624_activity	Material suppliers who do not fabricate/consume materials are outside the definition (NRS 624.020(3)); subcontractors and specialty contractors are INSIDE it.

Rule confidence: confirmed. Missing inputs produce NOT_DETERMINED — never a forced answer. Sources: S-NV-624-700 S-NV-624-020 S-NV-FAQ

08 Rule: NV-REPAIR-EXEMPT

NRS 624.031(6): repair/maintenance work under $1,000 including labor and materials is exempt — UNLESS any of FIVE carve-outs applies: (a) a permit is required; (b) plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, heating or air-conditioning work; (c) work in a health/safety/welfare classification; (d) part of a larger project valued $500+ or split-contract evasion; (e) performed by a licensee or their employee. Each carve-out is its own hard outcome. The board's '$500 or more must be licensed' sentence (CONFLICT-NV-001) is NOT encoded — statute governs. Missing facts yield NOT_DETERMINED.

Outcome	Conclusion	Caveats
repair-exemption-applies	repair_exemption_applies	All seven facts must be present and true — the exemption collapses on ANY carve-out (separate outcomes name each one). CONFLICT-NV-001: the NSCB Owner-Builder page says '$500 or more … must be licensed' — the statutory $1,000 test governs the rules; the board sentence is published beside it, unresolved. Local permits/codes unaffected — and if a permit WOULD be required, carve-out (a) already removed this exemption.
carveout-permit	exemption_defeated_by_carve_out	A permitted job is licensed work regardless of its dollar value.
carveout-trade	exemption_defeated_by_carve_out	HVAC and water-heater work always fall here — the $1,000 exemption never covers them (project pages).
carveout-hsw	exemption_defeated_by_carve_out	Which classifications the Board prescribes as HSW-affecting was NOT read verbatim this phase — the caller must supply the classification fact (research §O).
carveout-larger-project	exemption_defeated_by_carve_out	The $500 figure appears in the STATUTE only as this evasion test — it is not a licensing threshold (see CONFLICT-NV-001).
carveout-licensee	exemption_defeated_by_carve_out	A licensee's own work is never 'exempt work' — it must sit inside their classification or use the NRS 624.220(4)(b) out-of-class relief (rule NV-SPECIALTY-INCIDENTAL).
not-repair-work	repair_exemption_not_available	Other NRS 624.031 items (owner-builder, material-only, public work, agriculture…) are separate tests — this outcome only closes the repair path.

Rule confidence: confirmed. Missing inputs produce NOT_DETERMINED — never a forced answer. Sources: S-NV-624-031 S-NV-624-700

09 Rule: NV-SPECIALTY-INCIDENTAL

Scope relief for LICENSED contractors (NRS 624.220(4)): (a) two-or-more-craft contracts are allowed where the other crafts are 'incidental and supplemental' to the licensed craft; (b) out-of-classification work is allowed if its value is under $1,000 including labor and materials AND no permit is required — NEVER for plumbing, electrical, refrigeration or air-conditioning work. This is not the NRS 624.031(6) exemption for unlicensed persons (separate rule NV-REPAIR-EXEMPT). Missing facts yield NOT_DETERMINED.

Outcome	Conclusion	Caveats
incidental-multicraft-allowed	incidental_multicraft_work_allowed	'Incidental and supplemental' is a legal test, not a percentage the statute fixes — when the other crafts dominate the job, the classification is required. Work under carve-outs (b) (plumbing/electrical/refrigeration/AC) still needs its own classification regardless of how incidental it looks.
out-of-class-trade-bar	out_of_class_relief_barred_trade_work	The NRS 624.031(6)(b) carve-out for UNLICENSED persons names the same trades plus heating — both paths close on trade work.
out-of-class-under-1000-no-permit	out_of_class_relief_applies	Both conditions must hold: value under $1,000 AND no permit required — a permitted job needs the classification at any price. Never valid for plumbing/electrical/refrigeration/AC work (outcome out-of-class-trade-bar).
out-of-class-needs-permit-or-value	additional_classification_required	Alternative: qualify for the additional classification ($300 additional-classification application — NAC 624.130).
out-of-class-unlicensed-caller	out_of_class_relief_unavailable_unlicensed	CONFLICT-NV-001: the board's '$500 or more' sentence is unresolved and never used as a fact here.

Rule confidence: confirmed. Missing inputs produce NOT_DETERMINED — never a forced answer. Sources: S-NV-624-220

10 The C-21 / C-1f boundary — and the two tests HVAC work always fails

Replacing a temperature-control system is C-21 contracting, and C-21b AIR-CONDITIONING's scope is verbatim in NAC 624.380: "installation, repair, service and maintenance of equipment, devices, machinery, units and related ductwork which use evaporation, refrigeration, boilers or combustion for the control of air temperatures…" S-NV-NAC-380

Question	Nevada answer	Source
Credential for the replacement	C-21 with C-21b AIR-CONDITIONING (rule NV-HVAC-CLASS decides the subclass from the equipment facts)	S-NV-NAC-380
Non-refrigeration heating / evaporative-cooler swaps	C-1f HEATING, COOLING AND CIRCULATING AIR — expressly does NOT authorize cooling systems that use refrigeration as an integral part of the system	S-NV-NAC-190
C-21d MAINTENANCE	narrower than C-21b — no complete condenser replacement on remote systems, no air handlers, no design-altering work	S-NV-NAC-380
$1,000 repair exemption	NEVER applies — heating and air-conditioning work is named in the carve-out (b), before the value test is even reached	S-NV-624-031
Out-of-class < $1,000 relief for a licensed contractor	closed too — NRS 624.220(4)(b) never covers air-conditioning work	S-NV-624-220
Local mechanical permit	LOCAL_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED — the residential contractor must obtain all necessary permits (NRS 624.970(6)); Las Vegas example below	S-NV-624-970

Both exits that a minor job might use are statute-barred for HVAC before any dollar amount is considered — the license answer here is classification-driven, not price-driven (research §L.4).

11 Local permit layer

The state decides WHO MAY CONTRACT; the local authority decides permits, inspections, fees and any local business license. NRS 624.035 expressly lets each county or incorporated city require an additional contractor's license "subject to the applicant meeting such additional standards as are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the public" — the OPPOSITE of Georgia's preemption. NRS 624.970(6): the residential contractor "shall apply for and obtain all necessary permits." S-NV-624-035

The researched local example is the City of Las Vegas (LOCAL EXAMPLE — NOT STATEWIDE): "Only a Nevada licensed contractor may obtain a building permit for commercial construction" and "A valid Nevada State Contractor's license and city of Las Vegas business license are required for the issuance of permits to contractors" — the state license and a city business license both gate permit issuance, and the page publishes example local fees (labeled examples, never a fee schedule). S-NV-LV-FEE-EST

Permit fees beyond those labeled examples, exemption lists, timelines and every other city's or county's rules are LOCAL_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED.
