Danny Ray III James

What this record tells you

Danny Ray III James holds Florida licence CAC1817573, 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 2013, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 50% of the 223 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2012. That is 13 years of continuous licensure.

Danny Ray III James is one of 120 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Ocala, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Danny Ray III James additionally holds 2 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
