When a Jacksonville HVAC company gives you a license number, the type of license tells you something. Florida issues two kinds. A certified contractor has passed the state's competency requirements and can work anywhere in Florida. A registered contractor met a local government's requirements and may contract only in that jurisdiction. Both appear in the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's free license search, along with the license class and status. Under Florida Statutes § 489.105, Class A and Class B air-conditioning contractors and mechanical contractors can all install central heating and cooling. Class B work is capped at 25 tons of cooling per system.
