Air-O Heating & Cooling Systems, Inc.

What this record tells you

Air-O Heating & Cooling Systems, Inc. holds Florida licence RA0065309, a RA classification which authorises work as a certified/registered air conditioning or mechanical contractor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 1992, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% 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 34 years of continuous licensure.

Air-O Heating & Cooling Systems, Inc. is one of 40 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Lutz, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2027. 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.
