Coastal Service

What this record tells you

Coastal Service holds Florida licence RA0066562, 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 1994, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% of the 147 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Panama City area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 32 years of continuous licensure.

Coastal Service is one of 4 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Port St Joe, 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.

Before you hire Coastal Service

• Re-check licence RA0066562 on the DBPR portal — status can change any day.
• Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation, issued to you directly by their insurer.
• Confirm the name on your contract matches Coastal Service or its qualifying agent, Phillip Gerald Mc Croan.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other hvac & ac repair contractors in Panama City.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
