Air-conditioning Systems

SB 1220 revises Florida's definition of a "Class A air-conditioning contractor" in Section 489.105 of the Florida Statutes. The bill clarifies that these contractors may install, maintain, repair, and design central air-conditioning, refrigeration, heating, and ventilating systems - including duct cleaning requiring partial disassembly - but excludes work like gas lines, electrical wiring, or pool piping. It also updates related licensing provisions in Sections 489.113, 489.117, and 553.998 to align with the revised definition. This bill directly affects licensed contractors performing HVAC work in Florida, ensuring their scope of practice is explicitly defined under state law.
