Become a Credentialed HVAC Contractor

EPA is looking for contractors who want to lead by offering best practice HVAC design and installation. By becoming credentialed to work with ENERGY STAR, contractors gain access to a select group of leading builders and developers that consistently deliver high-quality homes and apartments. Credentialed contractors also earn a valuable tool to stand out from the crowd and market their services. All of this means fewer callbacks and complaints and more premium sales to builders and developers.
