Krauss and Crane

What this record tells you

Krauss and Crane holds Florida licence CAC1818726, 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 2016, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 45% of the 505 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Port St. Lucie & Treasure Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 10 years of continuous licensure.

Krauss and Crane is one of 44 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Okeechobee, 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.
