Gas appliance and combustion system work, starting at the outlet of the gas meter, falls under DOPL's construction trades licensing, and the qualifier for an HVAC contractor license must be a Certified Natural Gas Technician. Source: DOPL Contractor Classifications
Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license.
