Nevada-Specific Notes (Read Before You Sign)

Contractor licensing: Nevada licenses contractors via the Nevada State Contractors Board. Display your license number/classification (e.g., C-21 Heating/Ventilating & Air Conditioning) and legal business name on proposals and the contract; ensure scope matches classification. Use properly licensed subs for electrical/plumbing/gas-fitting as required.

Permits & inspections are local: Mechanical/electrical/gas permits are issued by the city/county AHJ (e.g., Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Clark County; Reno, Sparks, Washoe County). Confirm permit needs, plan review (rooftop units/curb adapters/wind), fees, and inspection timing before change-outs or new installs.

Codes: Jurisdictions adopt IMC/IECC with local amendments. If your scope triggers duct leakage testing, ventilation/ERV balancing, economizers on certain RTUs, or commissioning/controls, assign responsibilities and testing fees in the contract.

Desert heat, monsoon & dust: Include high-temperature operating limits, work-hour adjustments (early/late shifts), rooftop wind/ lightning safety, hail guards, washable pre-filters/dust screens where specified, and flood-resistant placement for units in flash-flood areas.

IAQ & smoke: During dust/smoke advisories, note service limits for crew safety and offer filtration upgrades (higher-MERV, coil cleaning cadence) if requested.

Cooling-off (in-home sales): Covered door-to-door/home solicitations generally include a 3-business-day right to cancel. Attach the written notice when applicable.

Liens: Nevada provides mechanic’s lien rights with specific notices/timelines. Keep clear payment terms and retain proof of any required notices/waivers.
