Southern Values Cooling and Heating Inc.

What this record tells you

Southern Values Cooling and Heating Inc. holds Florida licence CAC1816719, 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 2011, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 32% of the 613 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 15 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Values Cooling and Heating Inc. is one of 165 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Bradenton, 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.
