Caution & regulatory history

Board discipline from Florida extracts linked to this contractor. Separate from insurance, permits, or reviews — factual records only.

No discipline records identified in current extracts

No discipline records identified in current extracts

Our Florida board discipline files do not currently attach an action to this profile. That is not a certificate of clean history: records may exist outside these extracts, under another name, or after our last load. Re-check the official DBPR board before hiring.

What this means: absence in our extract ≠ cleared. Worth confirming on the official source the day you hire.

Notes comparing license and Sunbiz

These differences are common in public records and are not automatic red flags. We show them so you can double-check details before you hire.

  • Different ZIP codes on file

    FYI

    License ZIP 33014; entity principal ZIP 33016. Mailing and principal office addresses often differ.

Insurance & workers' compensation

Coverage status is not shown in our current extracts. Homeowners should request and verify documents with the carrier — we do not mark anyone as “insured,” “fully covered,” or “approved.”

Evidence status on this report

Not shown in current extracts — confirm with carrier before hiring UNIVERSAL HVAC CORP.

What to request

  • · Certificate of Insurance (COI) for general liability
  • · Workers' compensation evidence or exemption status where applicable
  • · Named insured matching the contracting entity (on file: UNIVERSAL HVAC CORP)
  • · Policy effective and expiration dates

How to verify

  • · Call the carrier contact listed on the COI to confirm active status
  • · Confirm contractor / entity name matches your contract
  • · Keep copies with your project records
  • · Re-check dates before work starts and after any change order

Why workers' comp matters (Florida)

If a contractor is required to carry workers' compensation and does not, you may face liability and project risk if a worker is injured on your job. Requirements depend on structure, employees, and exemptions — the Division of Workers' Compensation is the authority. Homeowner should confirm with carrier and official portals.

Worksite location is the public permit address on file, not a confirmed service territory. A permit record does not confirm work was completed as scoped, and the absence of a permit here does not mean work was performed without one.
