What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Prince George's County refrigeration & HVAC contractor bond is a compliance-and-workmanship guarantee. When you install and service heating, cooling, and refrigeration systems in the county, it wants a financial backstop that your work follows county code and the conditions of your contractor license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Prince George's County (the obligee), with harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor's defective or non-compliant work violates the county's rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the county can suspend your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
