Boilers: plumbing license or HVACR license?

1st year, UA Local 24. My shop does a lot of hot water boiler work in Bergen in the winter. Someone at school said that once the HVACR license came in, boilers became an HVAC thing and plumbers can't touch them. My foreman laughed at that. Idk who to believe. Who's allowed to do hydronic heat in NJ: plumbers, HVACR contractors, or both? Short answer is fine.

I've wondered the same. My boss is a master plumber and does boilers all the time and has never mentioned needing anything else. But I'd ask the board rather than take his word or mine.
