In today’s fast-changing world of refrigeration and air conditioning, professional licensing isn’t just a formality — it’s a foundation of trust. As technology evolves and environmental standards tighten, licensed technicians are playing a critical role in keeping systems efficient, safe, and compliant with Belizean law.

Being licensed by ARACT means that a technician has met national competency standards, adheres to ethical codes, and is committed to safe refrigerant handling, energy efficiency, and compliance with environmental laws.

Beyond compliance, licensing elevates your professional image. Clients are more confident hiring a certified technician, and government or corporate contracts often require proof of valid licensing.

Tip for Technicians: If your license is due for renewal, ensure you keep a copy of your refrigerant recovery certification and submit your updated documents early through ARACT.
