Cool Aid Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating, Inc.

What this record tells you

Cool Aid Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating, Inc. holds Florida licence CAC042601, 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 1987, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% of the 73 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Key West & The Keys area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 39 years of continuous licensure.

Cool Aid Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating, Inc. is one of 11 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Tavernier, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
