Andrews Cooling & Heating Inc

What this record tells you

Andrews Cooling & Heating Inc holds Florida licence CAC058162, 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 2000, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 192 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 26 years of continuous licensure.

Andrews Cooling & Heating Inc is one of 3 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Ft Walton Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jerald Edward Andrews additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.
