Utah licenses all trades through the Division of Occupational & Professional Licensing (DOPL). HVAC uses the S350 classification, which requires only 4,000 hours of experience — much less than the 8,000 hours expected of plumbers and electricians.
TradesIQ tracks Utah license renewals, CE hours, bonds, and insurance certificates in one dashboard — with automated reminders before anything lapses.
