While there is no state license required for mechanical contractors, businesses must file a $25,000 mechanical contractor bond with DLI in order to contract to perform gas, heating, ventilation, cooling, air conditioning, fuel burning or refrigeration work.
The bond must be on the form approved by DLI and written by a surety company licensed to do business in Minnesota. Your insurance agent can help you obtain a bond from a licensed surety company.
