Mechanical Division

The Mechanical Division is responsible for issuing mechanical permits, the examination and licensing and renewals of licenses of mechanical contractors and inspections of mechanical installations and repairs. The division also provides staff support to the Board of Mechanical Rules and handles code questions --i.e., furnaces, HVAC (heating and air conditioning), duct work, solar heating, refrigeration and underground tanks.

Note: Freon questions are not handled through this agency. Please contact the Stratospheric Ozone Hotline at 800-296-1996. Note: Calls regarding auto mechanics or auto mechanic licenses are not handled through this agency. Please contact the Secretary of State at (517) 373-9060.

Therefore, the review process will begin in early January 2012.
