Certified or registered? A certified air conditioning contractor (licence starts CAC) may work anywhere in Florida. A registered contractor (RA) may work only in the local jurisdictions where the registration was issued. Both are real licences. Just make sure a registered contractor is registered where your home is.

Common questions

Does an AC contractor need a state licence in Florida?

Yes. Air conditioning contracting is a licensed trade under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes. The contractor must hold a state certification (CAC, valid statewide) or a registration (RA, valid only where it was issued). Offering to do the work without one is unlicensed contracting.

What is the difference between CAC and RA?

CAC is a Certified Air Conditioning Contractor, who holds a state certificate and may contract anywhere in Florida. RA is a Registered Air Conditioning Contractor, who qualified through a local jurisdiction and may contract only in the jurisdictions where the registration is valid.

What does “board discipline on record” mean?

It means the Construction Industry Licensing Board's published discipline files list at least one final action (or Recovery Fund action) against that licence number since fiscal year 2021-22. We show each entry's date, case number and listed actions exactly as DBPR publishes them. It is a public record, not our opinion.

Do I need a permit to replace my air conditioner?

Replacing an air conditioner is regulated work under the Florida Building Code, and local building departments in Florida generally require a permit and inspection. Ask the contractor who pulls the permit and for the permit number, then check your city or county's portal.

Why is there no phone number for some contractors?

The state licence file does not include phone numbers. We list the address of record DBPR publishes; contractors who claim their listing can add a phone number and description.

Is this site run by the state?

No. Florida HVAC Contractor Check is an independent directory compiled from DBPR's public licence and discipline files. The official lookup is DBPR's Verify a License page at myfloridalicense.com.
