Hometown Air and Electric Inc.

What this record tells you

Hometown Air and Electric Inc. holds Florida licence CAC035587, 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 1985, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 2% of the 223 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 41 years of continuous licensure.

Hometown Air and Electric Inc. is one of 9 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Silver Springs, 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.
