How we vet AC Repair pros in New Tampa

Our 5-step screening for AC Repair contractors serving New Tampa, FL. This is the bar a HVAC pro has to clear before we route any quote request to them in New Tampa.

1

Verify the Florida CMC license at the state source

Pull the contractor's Florida CMC number and verify it's active and qualifier-matched at the state licensing portal. Any pro routing quotes to New Tampa (33647) must carry an active license; a lapsed or qualifier-mismatched license is the single most common red flag we filter at intake.
2

Pull a current Certificate of Insurance

Ask for a COI naming you as Certificate Holder, with $1M general liability minimum. The COI must be emailed by the agent directly, not a photo of a card. We refresh COIs annually for every HVAC pro on our network serving Tampa Palms and Hunters Green.
3

Read Google reviews, filter for the last 12 months

4.5 stars with 50+ reviews is the floor we use. Filter for reviews mentioning New Tampa or nearby Hunters Green so you see the recent local pattern, not a 5-year-old reputation from elsewhere in the metro. Patterns of "didn't return calls" or "left job unfinished" across 3+ reviews predict the same outcome.
4

Confirm trade-specific certifications for AC Repair

EPA Section 608 Universal for refrigerant, NATE Core for diagnostics. R-454B handling certifications are increasingly relevant as 2025 systems ship. A pro working New Tampa routes who can't name their certifications by acronym usually doesn't carry them.
5

Verify permit-pull history in New Tampa

Every HVAC job over the local trigger threshold requires a permit. Hillsborough County County publishes residential permit pulls in its open-data portal; cross-reference the contractor against pulls near Flatwoods Park. A pro with zero permits pulled in the 33637 corridor over the last 90 days is likely skipping them, which costs you on resale and insurance claims.

The full 9-point vetting methodology lives at vetting-standards.
