Everyone quotes the shortage. Here is the count Utah actually has, by skill level and per resident, as of August 9, 2026, when its register was last collected.
As of August 9, 2026, Utah carries 2,367 licensed HVAC technicians on its state register.
This register has not been re-collected since August 9, 2026, 58 days ago. Every figure below is real and is stated as of that date, but it is not nightly-fresh the way the rest of this site is: Utah is one of the registers ATI cannot currently sweep on a schedule. Treat these counts as a dated snapshot, and see Sources for which registers are affected and why.
A free report on your market: what the trade pays, how that compares with nearby counties, and where your credential sits against the local licensed workforce. No account needed.
Not comparable per resident: this register licenses CONTRACTORS (businesses and qualifying individuals) rather than individual tradespeople, so this is a count of licensed businesses, not of workers. A per-resident rate and a state ranking are withheld here because they would compare businesses against other states' individual tradespeople.
UT's register has not been re-collected in 58 days, so this page will not change tonight and the figure above stands as of August 9, 2026. Every other market ATI tracks refreshes nightly: track one and see which contractors just got licensed, added a trade, or dropped off, and pull the full record on any of them.
