Air by Rick LLC

What this record tells you

Air by Rick LLC holds Florida licence CAC057893, 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 1999, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 12% of the 505 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 27 years of continuous licensure.

Air by Rick LLC is one of 66 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Fort Pierce, 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.
