Larry Wayne Padgett

What this record tells you

Larry Wayne Padgett holds Florida licence CAC036914, 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 1986, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 1,150 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Orlando area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 40 years of continuous licensure.

Larry Wayne Padgett is one of 17 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Mount Dora, 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.
