Harpers Heating & A/C Inc

What this record tells you

Harpers Heating & A/C Inc holds Florida licence CAC1813473, 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 2002, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 20% of the 188 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 24 years of continuous licensure.

Harpers Heating & A/C Inc is one of 65 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Gainesville, 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.
