Nevada is one of the larger states, ranked 7th in area, but its population is ranked 35th, with a little more than 2 million people in the state. The capital of the state is Carson City; the largest city is Las Vegas. The southern third of the state, including Las Vegas, is located in the Mojave Desert, but temperatures vary across the state because of the many mountain ranges. Average temperatures are in the low 20s during the winter and in the low 90s in summer.

As might be expected, gambling is the major industry in Nevada. If contractors don't want to gamble with their profession, they should make sure they are licensed to bid or work on construction jobs in Nevada. Request a packet of material from the State Contractors Board.

The Board will evaluate the information and decide if you're eligible to take the Contractors Management Survey Exam (CMS). If so, they'll send you the registration form. This exam is given once a month by the online company PSI Examinations. Those contractors who want to be licensed in more than one trade must apply and pay for each one separately. Each license costs $300 (nonrefundable) for the application, $300 for the license, $40 for the CMS exam, and $35 for the trade exam. You will also need a surety bond, the amount of which is set by the board. You must also prove you have industrial insurance with the Nevada State Industrial Insurance System. Contact them at (702) 486-9080.

Consumers who are having problems with their HVAC contractor should contact the Nevada Attorney General to file a complaint. You can also contact the Complaint Department of the licensing board.

If you are having difficulty paying your heating or cooling bills, contact the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They have many assistance programs available.
