Ken Barrett Air Conditioning Inc

What this record tells you

Ken Barrett Air Conditioning Inc holds Florida licence CACA57421, 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 10% of the 1,019 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 27 years of continuous licensure.

Ken Barrett Air Conditioning Inc is one of 426 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Tampa, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Kenneth James Barrett additionally holds 2 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 08/31/2026. 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.
