Preferred Air Solutions LLC

What this record tells you

Preferred Air Solutions LLC holds Florida licence CAC057275, 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 1996, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 7% 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 30 years of continuous licensure.

Preferred Air Solutions LLC is one of 355 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Orlando, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Alex Bader additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
