About HVAC in Lakeland

Lakeland, in inland Polk County, averages highs of about 92°F in July and August with overnight lows near 74°F, so air conditioning carries most of the year, while January nights average about 51°F and temperatures drop below freezing about twice a year. Florida HVAC contractors are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Construction Industry Licensing Board as Certified Air Conditioning Contractors (CAC, Class A or B). Most of the city buys its power from Lakeland Electric, a utility owned by the city. Ranked by license record and years licensed, never by payment. Checked 27 October 2026.
