Generator Gas Piping Certification Program for Electrical Contractors

This program fulfills the required “one time” program that is needed to install gas pipping for Generators

Attend this program in Person at our school or as a LIVE INTERACTIVE WEBINAR:

The regulations of the Board of Electrical Contractors allow licensees to install Natural Gas Piping for Generator Only Licensees who perform this work shall have a minimum of two hours of continuing education training on the subject from a Board Approved course and instructor.

The Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Contractors has proposed amendments to its regulations to provide an exemption to licensing requirements for certain electrical contractors when they install, maintain, or repair gas piping while installing or repairing electrical generators.  The proposed amendments also revise limitations on electrical work that licensed master heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration contractors may perform. 

P.L. 2019, c. 260 establishes that a licensed electrical contractor who has completed continuing education in the installation of gas piping relevant to electric generators is authorized to install, maintain, or repair gas piping associated with electric generators without holding a license from the Board.  The proposed amendments effectuate P.L. 2019, c. 260.
