Barrett A/C & Mechanical, Inc.

What this record tells you

Barrett A/C & Mechanical, Inc. holds Florida licence CAC1817762, 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 39% of the 192 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 12 years of continuous licensure.

Barrett A/C & Mechanical, Inc. is one of 14 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Destin, 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.
