C & J Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Inc

What this record tells you

C & J Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Inc holds Florida licence CAC1814421, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 23% of the 821 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

C & J Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Inc is one of 20 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Palm Beach Gardens, 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.
