Bay Heating and Cooling

What this record tells you

Bay Heating and Cooling holds Florida licence CAC1817247, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 33% 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 14 years of continuous licensure.

Bay Heating and Cooling is one of 60 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Panama City, 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.
