Question 3

Do I need a licensed HVAC contractor in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Idaho requires HVAC contractors to hold the HVAC Contractor License (must employ licensed HVAC Journeyman) license from the Idaho Division of Building Safety (DBS) — HVAC Bureau. Verifying your contractor holds current credentials protects you on warranty claims, permits, and insurance coverage.

Question 4

How often should I service my HVAC system in Star's climate?

Accepted Answer

Boise has semi-arid continental climate with dry 91°F summer highs and cold winters dropping to 24°F. Low humidity keeps cooling efficient, but winter heating demand is substantial from October through April.

Many Star contractors offer annual maintenance plans that bundle both visits at a discount.

Question 6

What's the best time of year to schedule HVAC maintenance in Star?

Accepted Answer
