Manasota Air Conditioning Contractors Association |
As Florida grows . . . so does the practice of unlicensed contracting. This practice can result in financial harm to consumers. Don’t get left holding a big bill because your contractor didn’t do things right!
Although the unlicensed contractor/servicer’s price may look attractive at first glance, there are serious pitfalls when all things are considered. You could end up spending much more than the job was worth and in the end you will have no protection and little recourse.
Today’s professionally licensed air conditioning and heating contractor is controlled by Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Certification and Registration is based on an examination of the Contractors level of competency. Financial stability and insurability of applicants is also reviewed by the Department.
Make sure you use an experienced, licensed professional for your air conditioning and heating needs. The small sums saved when using the unlicensed contractor are not worth the liabilities you gain. If you are unsure about a Contractor’s license status, call your local building department.
