Sharkey'S Air and Heat

What this record tells you

Sharkey'S Air and Heat holds Florida licence CAC1815279, 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 2006, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 29% of the 333 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 20 years of continuous licensure.

Sharkey'S Air and Heat is one of 98 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Melbourne, 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.
