Castello'S Air Conditioning and Refrigeration LLC

What this record tells you

Castello'S Air Conditioning and Refrigeration LLC holds Florida licence CAC1814615, 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 709 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

Castello'S Air Conditioning and Refrigeration LLC is one of 74 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in New Port Richey, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Paul M Castello 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.
