Southern Comfort Htg & Air Conditioning

What this record tells you

Southern Comfort Htg & Air Conditioning holds Florida licence RA0066926, 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 1998, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 15% of the 191 active hvac & ac repair licences based in the Tallahassee area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 28 years of continuous licensure.

Southern Comfort Htg & Air Conditioning is one of 137 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Tallahassee, 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.
