A contractor signatory to the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, Local 24 agreement — the Laurel, Maryland-headquartered local covering mechanical insulation, fire stopping, and asbestos/lead abatement work across Maryland, Virginia, D.C., and West Virginia — posts this bond so the fringe benefit contributions it reports each period actually reach the local’s trust funds. It is a collective bargaining obligation, not a Maryland licensing requirement. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only.
















A letter of assent usually comes with a start date attached, and the benefits office wants the bond in hand before the first periodic report. This one is built to move:
Your company details, the bond amount the benefits office named, an effective date, and the credit consent that authorizes a soft pull. That is the application.
Most applications approve instantly. The credit consent authorizes a soft inquiry that never affects your score, and no hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to send to Heat & Frost Insulators Local 24’s benefits office, which administers the plans and collects the periodic reports. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
When an insulation contractor signs a letter of assent to the Heat & Frost Insulators and Allied Workers Local 24 agreement, it takes on negotiated employer contributions on top of wages — typically covering health, pension, and apprenticeship/training funds tied to mechanical insulation, fire stopping, and asbestos or lead abatement work. This fringe benefit bond secures the contractor’s obligation to actually remit what it owes each reporting period.
Local 24 is headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, and its territorial jurisdiction reaches across Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia — which is why this filing sits in Maryland’s catalog even though covered work can occur throughout that broader area. The application asks you to name the jurisdiction where the covered work is performed.
This is a private, contractual bond, not a Maryland licensing requirement — no Maryland agency issues it or receives it. The bond amount is set by Local 24’s benefits office rather than by statute, so confirm the exact obligee wording and figure with that office before the bond is issued. We price it from a $125 minimum, and the application includes only a soft credit consent — never a hard inquiry.
These are the actual issuing fields, including the jurisdiction where the covered work is performed. The credit consent authorizes a soft pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score.
