Ethical Air

What this record tells you

Ethical Air holds Florida licence CAC1817756, 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 2014, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 44% of the 1,019 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 12 years of continuous licensure.

Ethical Air is one of 10 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Apollo Beach, 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.

Before you hire Ethical Air

• Re-check licence CAC1817756 on the DBPR portal — status can change any day.
• Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation, issued to you directly by their insurer.
• Confirm the name on your contract matches Ethical Air or its qualifying agent, Josh M Stone.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other hvac & ac repair contractors in Tampa.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
