Southern Sun Air Conditioning LLC

What this record tells you

Southern Sun Air Conditioning LLC holds Florida licence CACA41184, 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 1999, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 12% of the 709 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 27 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Sun Air Conditioning LLC is one of 74 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in New Port Richey, 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.
