Hometown Heating & Cooling, LLC

What this record tells you

Hometown Heating & Cooling, LLC holds Florida licence RM14017015, a RM 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 2017, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 47% 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 9 years of continuous licensure.

Hometown Heating & Cooling, LLC is one of 9 active hvac & ac repair licences registered to an address in Chipley, 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.
