Honest Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Electric LLC

What this record tells you

Honest Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Electric LLC holds Florida licence CMC1250767, 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 2019, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 54% of the 330 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 7 years of continuous licensure.

Honest Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Electric LLC is one of 63 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Winter Haven, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Samuel James Zapen 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 08/31/2026. 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.
