Does pool pump replacement in Tempe require a licensed contractor?
Arizona says a contractor license is required if labor and materials exceed $1,000, or if a permit is required regardless of price. For pool pump replacement, ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. You can verify licenses through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors contractor search.
Which Arizona license covers pool pump replacement?
The CR-6 Swimming Pool Service and Repair classification covers service and repair work for both commercial and residential pools. The KA-5 Dual Swimming Pool Contractor classification covers the scopes of both the commercial A-9 and residential B-5 swimming pool licenses. Either scope can apply to pool equipment work.
