Bruce Heating & Cooling LLC

What this record tells you

Bruce Heating & Cooling LLC holds Florida licence CAC1815768, 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 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 27% of the 147 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Bruce Heating & Cooling LLC is one of 27 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Panama City Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Bruce A Thacker 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 08/31/2026. 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.
