Kobie Kooling Inc

What this record tells you

Kobie Kooling Inc holds Florida licence CAC1813722, 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 2003, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 13% of the 785 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 23 years of continuous licensure.

Kobie Kooling Inc is one of 230 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Fred H Kobie 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 08/31/2028. 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.
