When performing service work on a heating system, what must the licensee notify the homeowner of?

The requirement for a licensee to notify the homeowner of any code violations is critical because code compliance ensures the safety and efficiency of a heating system. When performing service work, identifying and informing the homeowner about any violations allows them to understand the risks associated with their system, the potential need for repairs, and their responsibility to address these issues. It also helps to promote adherence to local and national safety standards, which is an essential aspect of a professional's duty.

While maintenance schedules, life expectancy, and upgrade options may be valuable information for homeowners to receive, the identification and notification of code violations is a primary legal and ethical obligation when servicing heating systems. This ensures that the homeowner is fully aware of any serious issues that could affect the operation of their heating system or endanger their property and safety.
