Clifton Van Treese Air Conditioning LLC

What this record tells you

Clifton Van Treese Air Conditioning LLC holds Florida licence CACA15690, 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 1982, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 1% of the 821 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 44 years of continuous licensure.

Clifton Van Treese Air Conditioning LLC is one of 122 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Boca Raton, 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.
