Costa Mechanical and Refrigeration Inc.

What this record tells you

Costa Mechanical and Refrigeration Inc. holds Florida licence CMC1250465, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 58% of the 73 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Key West & The Keys area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2010. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Costa Mechanical and Refrigeration Inc. is one of 6 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Summerland Key, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. David John Dolqueist additionally holds 3 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 08/31/2028. 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.
