The package cost is $2,595. A separate $950 refundable book deposit is required, bringing the total initial payment to $3,545. The deposit is refundable when all included books are returned within one year in a condition similar to the condition in which they were received.

Please allow up to 15 business days for The 1 Package book orders. This preparation period allows the books to be highlighted, permanently tabbed, organized, and processed before shipment.

Exam Details

The Arkansas Class B HVACR Contractor exam requires preparation across several technical and regulatory subjects. Candidates should be ready to work with Arkansas HVACR law, state rules, mechanical and fuel-gas codes, residential load calculations, refrigeration principles, air-conditioning systems, electrical requirements, and contractor business practices.

Arkansas HVAC/R Law and Arkansas HVAC/R Rules and Regulations support preparation involving licensing, regulated work, contractor responsibilities, professional standards, classifications, and compliance requirements. Candidates should become familiar with the organization and terminology of both references.

The International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 supports preparation involving fuel-gas piping, appliance connections, venting, combustion air, installation requirements, inspection, testing, and related safety provisions.

The International Mechanical Code, 2021 supports review involving mechanical equipment, ventilation, exhaust, duct systems, combustion air, refrigeration systems, equipment installation, and other regulated mechanical subjects.

Residential Load Calculation - Manual J, 8th Edition supports preparation involving residential heating and cooling load calculations. Students should understand how climate conditions, insulation, windows, orientation, infiltration, building construction, and internal gains affect calculated loads and equipment-sizing decisions.

Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, 22nd Edition and Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology, 10th Edition provide broad technical coverage. These references support study involving refrigeration cycles, compressors, condensers, evaporators, metering devices, refrigerants, heating systems, cooling systems, airflow, controls, installation, service, maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.

Open Book Test

The Arkansas Class B HVACR Contractor exam is open book. Candidates may use approved references during the examination, subject to the current rules concerning permitted books, highlighting, annotations, permanent tabs, bindings, and loose materials.

Every reference included with The 1 Package is highlighted and permanently tabbed. Highlighted passages draw attention to useful laws, regulations, formulas, code provisions, diagrams, tables, definitions, and technical procedures. Permanent tabs create visible access points for major chapters and commonly reviewed subjects.

An open-book examination still requires serious preparation. Nine references contain a large amount of information, and candidates may not have enough time to search every book from the beginning for each question. Effective performance depends on identifying the subject, selecting the correct reference, locating the applicable section, and confirming the answer efficiently.

A question involving Arkansas HVACR licensing may direct the candidate to Arkansas HVAC/R Law or Arkansas HVAC/R Rules and Regulations. Fuel-gas piping, appliance, venting, or combustion-air questions may require the International Fuel Gas Code.

Questions involving ventilation, duct systems, exhaust, mechanical equipment, or refrigeration-code requirements may require the International Mechanical Code. Residential heating and cooling load questions may direct the candidate to Manual J.

Questions involving refrigeration cycles, system components, controls, installation, service, maintenance, airflow, or troubleshooting may require one of the refrigeration and air-conditioning textbooks. Electrical questions involving conductors, motors, disconnects, grounding, or overcurrent protection may require the National Electrical Code.

Questions involving contracts, financial management, estimating, insurance, project administration, employment matters, or contractor business practices may require the NASCLA Arkansas reference.

Students should use the included books throughout the course instead of opening them for the first time on exam day. Learn the purpose of every reference, review the chapters behind each tab, and practice moving from a question to the correct supporting material.

Licensing Steps

The Arkansas Class B HVACR contractor licensing process begins with reviewing the current application requirements for the classification. Applicants should determine which experience, examination, business, and supporting-document requirements apply before submitting the application.

The candidate should organize personal information, employment history, HVACR experience, business details, and any supporting records required for the licensing file.

The next step is preparing for the required examination. Candidates should use the included course and highlighted references to review Arkansas law, state rules, fuel-gas systems, mechanical systems, load calculations, refrigeration, air conditioning, electrical requirements, and contractor business responsibilities.

Reference navigation should be practiced throughout the study period. Candidates should not wait until the examination date to learn where information is located. Repeated practice with the highlighted and tabbed references helps build familiarity with each book.

When prepared, the candidate completes the required exam registration and scheduling steps. Identification requirements, testing procedures, approved references, and examination rules should be reviewed before the scheduled test date.

After satisfying the examination requirements, the applicant must complete any remaining licensing steps and submit the required application, documentation, and fees. Passing an examination does not independently create or approve an Arkansas HVACR contractor license.

Application Service is included with The 1 Package. This service helps customers organize licensing information, assemble required paperwork, and reduce avoidable application errors or missing items.

Business formation and EIN filing can be coordinated so the legal business entity, tax identification, and licensing information are organized consistently. Final licensing decisions remain with the appropriate Arkansas licensing authority.

State Requirements

Candidates should understand how these references address licensing authority, classifications, contractor responsibilities, compliance, and regulated HVACR activity.

Applicants should provide complete and accurate information throughout the licensing process. Names, addresses, employment details, HVACR experience, business information, and supporting records should remain consistent wherever required.

The licensing process may involve examination results, experience documentation, an application, fees, and additional supporting materials. Applicants should follow the current instructions associated with the Arkansas Class B HVACR contractor license.

The contractor compliance guidance included in The 1 Package helps customers understand how exam preparation, licensing, business formation, tax identification, and professional responsibilities fit together. The package does not guarantee exam eligibility, a passing score, licensing approval, earnings, or business success.
