J & L Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Inc.

What this record tells you

J & L Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Inc. holds Florida licence CAC1819435, 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 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 43% of the 785 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

J & L Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Inc. is one of 10 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Alva, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jeffery Jon Puterbaugh 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.
