Jose Fernandez

What this record tells you

Jose Fernandez holds Florida licence CAC1813923, 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 2004, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 19% of the 1,128 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 22 years of continuous licensure.

Jose Fernandez is one of 110 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Fort Lauderdale, 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.
