Arcadia Electric Company

What this record tells you

Arcadia Electric Company holds Florida licence CAC1818182, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 35% of the 172 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Arcadia Electric Company is one of 16 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Arcadia, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Frederick P Forbes additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence 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.
