Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone State, because as one of the original thirteen colonies it occupied a central position among them. That's why the First Continental Congress was held in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania's capital city.)

Pennyslvania was also an important colony economically, able to fuse the industry and manufacturing fields that were the hallmark of the north with the agriculture that was the South's way of life.

To this day Pennsylvania is an important agricultural state, although small farmers are gradually being forced out of business thanks to high taxes, including a 12.5 percent self employment tax. Much farm land is being sold to housing developers -- who will of course need HVAC contractors.

HVAC contractors do not need licenses to practice in Pennsylvania. Contractors therefore need to check their local jurisdictions for any particular requirements. (Senate Bill 660, currently under review, calls for licensing of plumbing contractors. Once plumbers need to be licensed, can HVAC contractors be far behind?

Pennsylvania averages temperatures in the 70s during the summer months, with temperatures falling into the mid-to-low-thirties during the winter season.

Before doing business with any contractor, renters or homeowners should get quotes from at least three different companies, along with references, and should also check out each of these companies with New Jersey's Better Business Bureau.

If you have a complaint against an HVAC contractor in Pennsylvania, contact the Attorney General.

There are several agencies ready to help low-income residents pay their heating bills during the winter months. These agencies are summarized at New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate Seema M. Singh's official website.
