First Choice Air Conditioning & Heating of Florida Inc

What this record tells you

First Choice Air Conditioning & Heating of Florida Inc holds Florida licence CAC029439, a CAC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered air conditioning or mechanical contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1984, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 2% of the 709 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 42 years of continuous licensure.

First Choice Air Conditioning & Heating of Florida Inc is one of 35 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Palm Harbor, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
