Bentzel Mechanical, Inc

What this record tells you

Bentzel Mechanical, Inc holds Florida licence CMC1249611, a CMC 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 2006, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 26% 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 20 years of continuous licensure.

Bentzel Mechanical, Inc is one of 139 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, 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.
