- (2) Heating and air conditioning, or refrigeration installation, service or repair work performed by an owner of a building that is the real property of said owner;
- (3) Heating and air conditioning, or refrigeration installation, or service and repair, performed by anyone who is regularly employed as a maintenance person incidental to and in connection with the business in which he or she is employed, provided said heating and air conditioning work is done on the premises of said owner, and repairperson does not engage in heating and air conditioning work for others.
- (4) In instances where a certified heating and air conditioning contractor bids installation work and is responsible for obtaining all required permits, the certified contractor may subcontract the installation of duct work only to an uncertified person who is performing the work under the supervision of the certified contractor as the person in responsible charge. The certified contractor is responsible for all such work performed and is considered by the Board as the person in responsible should the work fail to meet the minimum standards under these Rules.
