Ryan Hunter Etheridge

What this record tells you

Ryan Hunter Etheridge holds Florida licence CAC1824823, 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 2026, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 93% of the 192 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 0 years of continuous licensure.

Ryan Hunter Etheridge is one of 3 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Mary Esther, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.
