Fairest Air, LLC

What this record tells you

Fairest Air, LLC holds Florida licence CAC1823789, 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 2025, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 80% of the 172 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Port Charlotte & Punta Gorda area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2019. That is 1 year of continuous licensure.

Fairest Air, LLC is one of 87 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Punta Gorda, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard Alan Potash 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 08/31/2026. 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.
