Bfs

What this record tells you

Bfs holds Florida licence CAC056778, 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 1993, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 8% of the 1,128 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 33 years of continuous licensure.

Bfs is one of 105 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Hollywood, 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.

Before you hire Bfs

• Re-check licence CAC056778 on the DBPR portal — status can change any day.
• Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation, issued to you directly by their insurer.
• Confirm the name on your contract matches Bfs or its qualifying agent, Clifford Arthur Herd.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other hvac & ac repair contractors in Fort Lauderdale.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
