What this record tells you

Smittys Air holds Florida licence CAC1821816, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 66% of the 613 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

Smittys Air is one of 42 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Palmetto, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Joseph Arthur Delauder 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.

Before you hire Smittys Air

  • Compare at least three written quotes from other hvac & ac repair contractors in Sarasota & Bradenton.
  • Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
