The Putnam County Plumbing and Mechanical Trades Board local law was amended by the New York State Assembly. County Executive MaryEllen Odell says as part of the updated law, a new license was created in the area of Refrigeration. All tradesmen offering Refrigeration services, who are not already licensed Master HVAC technicians, are required to obtain a Putnam County License. This license requires Putnam County testing and all refrigeration and tradesmen have until June of 2018 to become licensed. A copy of the law is posted on the Consumer Affairs website for review. The license is reciprocal with Rockland County.
