HVAC Certification - Mini Split Heat Pump - Cincinnati

[Ben Gammon]

Hey There, 

I was told that you don't have to get a permit to install your own Mini-Split Heat Pumps if you instead get certification for installing them. My understanding is that Johnstone Supply runs some courses to get certified. 

Does anyone know which course a person would need to take to become certified to install a Mini-Split Heat Pump so that they do not have to get a permit for installing them? 

Or does this sound like crazy talk? 

Thanks guys N gals!
