Joseph Allan Shea

What this record tells you

Joseph Allan Shea holds Florida licence CAC1814794, 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 28% 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 21 years of continuous licensure.

Joseph Allan Shea 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.
