The Florida CAC1823678 license
A Certified Air Conditioning Contractor, Class B credential - issued and renewed by the Florida DBPR, valid statewide.
Our license is a Certified Air Conditioning Contractor, Class B credential. It is a state certification issued and renewed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), which means it is valid statewide rather than limited to a single county. It is specifically an air conditioning contractor credential - not a general contractor license - so it certifies HVAC work directly, not as the side scope of a broader builder's license. Whenever you see the number CAC1823678, it is paired with that exact classification.
The license is held by Jon Luke Ventresca, who serves as the corporate qualifier for Father and Son Air Conditioning and Duct Inc. It is active through August 31, 2026.
Class B covers the work that fills our schedule: residential and light-commercial air conditioning systems up to 25 tons / 500,000 BTU per system. That range covers virtually every single-family home, condo, townhome, and small-commercial property in the Orlando area. (Class A removes the tonnage ceiling for large commercial systems - work outside our scope, which we will tell you honestly rather than take on.)
You can confirm all of this yourself. Look up license CAC1823678 on the Florida DBPR record - the license number, the classification, the qualifier, and the active status are public.
EPA Section 608 Universal certification
The top tier of the EPA's refrigerant-handling certification - Type I, II, and III combined, held by both owners.
Tony Ventresca
EPA 608 UniversalCo-owner and HVAC tradesman, in the trade since 1995. Certified to handle every refrigerant category across Type I, II, and III equipment.
Jon Luke Ventresca
EPA 608 Universal · CAC1823678Co-owner, license holder, and corporate qualifier. Universal-certified for refrigerant handling alongside the Class B contractor license.
Both Tony Ventresca and Jon Luke Ventresca hold EPA Section 608 Universal certification. Universal is the top tier of the EPA's refrigerant-handling certification - Type I, Type II, and Type III equipment categories combined in a single credential. It authorizes the safe handling of every category of refrigerant across all three equipment types. (This is a federal refrigerant-handling credential, separate from the Class B contracting scope described above.)
This matters more in Florida than almost anywhere else. Air conditioning systems here run ten to twelve months a year, and every one of them is a sealed refrigerant circuit. Recovering, charging, and disposing of refrigerant legally and safely - without venting it to the atmosphere - is federal law under the Clean Air Act, and it requires a 608-certified technician. When Tony or Jon Luke opens a refrigerant circuit on your system, the person doing the work is Universal-certified to do it.
