Academia Development Corp

What this record tells you

Academia Development Corp holds Florida licence CAC1823051, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 76% of the 1,128 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Academia Development Corp is one of 72 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Pembroke Pines, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jose Urdaneta additionally holds 8 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 08/31/2028. 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.
