South Cooling LLC

What this record tells you

South Cooling LLC holds Florida licence CAC1818770, 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 40% of the 1,534 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Miami area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 10 years of continuous licensure.

South Cooling LLC is one of 921 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Miami, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Fernando De Armas additionally holds 3 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 08/31/2026. 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.
