Utah is a sparsely populated state, with about 3 million people. Almost 80% of the population lives within the Wasatch Front, an urban area with the state capital, Salt Lake City, at its center. Utah is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. Temperatures average in the low 40s during the winter months and in the low 90s in the summer.
If you have issues with your HVAC contractor that you can't solve face-to-face, you can file a complaint with the state's Attorney General, and also with the Better Business Bureau.
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has programs to help people who have difficulty paying their utility bills.
Utah's Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing requires that contractors be licensed to do construction work in the state. Obtain a license application form here. To qualify for any license, applicants must:

Applicants must also pass a business and law exam and a trade exam. Additionally, to qualify for the exams for HVAC, applicants must have at least four years of full-time related work experience. The exams are given by the online company Experior. The cost is $200 (nonrefundable) to file an application for a primary classification license. The supplemental classification application fee is $100. The business and law exam costs $79. Each trade exam costs $79. The license itself is free and is good for two years, expiring July 31 of the odd-numbered years. Contractors with valid licenses from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, or West Virginia can apply for a Utah license by endorsement.
Selling machinery and equipment should only be the first step in an important relationship between supplier and customer – Daltons Wadkin stands out at as a company which is dedicated to a smarter, more inclusive process.
Daltons Wadkin is one of the oldest-established woodworking machinery specialists in the UK. The company’s expanding team of regionally-based service engineers provides support to hundreds of machines at over 1000 sites across the UK and further afield.
The Nottinghamshire firm specialise in operating in highly regulated environments and delivering critical services to ensure its customers’ production is affected with minimal downtime.
So what are the options on offer? “We offer a range of core support services,” explains director Alex Dalton, “designed specifically for the woodworking industry to help our customers comply with the latest legislation, and help ensure employees work efficiently and safely. Additional support services provide customers with tailored ad hoc solutions to individual requirements.
“Our extensive engineering pedigree enables us to deliver these services quickly and effectively, using state-of-the-art management information systems with online reporting for current and historical detail on equipment.”
There are many options for service in the furniture, woodworking and joinery industries – so why choose a support package from Daltons Wadkin?
“Skilled engineers,” responds Alex, “each engineer undergoes routine training and testing on all aspects of woodworking equipment from mechanical and electrical systems, to the latest health and safety legislation.
“This continued programme of skill development ensures all engineers consistently perform to the highest level.
“We also are geographically well represented. Our expanding team of electrical and mechanical engineers are regionally based across the UK to provide support as quickly as possible.
“And continuity is key – we allocate an individual engineer to each customer account who will carry out planned maintenance visits and where possible attend to breakdown calls.”
Daltons Wadkin carries out a detailed safety and health check on the equipment checking everything from machine performance and tooling to guarding and safe operating procedures.
“Also, our Planned Preventative Maintenance – which is a schedule of planned maintenance operations aimed at the prevention of breakdowns and failures – helps prevent operator injury or the failure of equipment before it actually occurs.”
Of course, sometimes all customers need is advice. Daltons Wadkin’s support services help desk is freely available to all service customers.
There are additional support services available from Daltons Wadkin. “While we take care of the essentials, our extensive engineering facilities enable us to provide a range of additional services for our customers to take advantage of,” says Alex.
“For instance, the total rebuilding of existing equipment to original new standard and specification featuring modifications and upgrades to incorporate provision of improved technical or tooling features.”
Transport and factory relocation is an option too: “We have specialist in-house transport facilities to keep machinery safe – from single machines to complete workshops – carried out by expert personnel combining engineering and transport departments,” concludes Alex.
