By Belize Live News Staff: The Association of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technicians has announced a countrywide crackdown on individuals performing air conditioning and refrigeration services without proper licensing.
Citing public safety and environmental standards, the association has issued a clear warning: anyone caught working without a valid license will face a $5,000 fine and potential legal action.
“This is not a recommendation—it’s a legal requirement,” said A. Alexander Cass, President of the Association of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technicians. “We are committed to upholding safety and professionalism in Belize’s RAC industry.”
The association will be conducting unannounced inspections and investigations, and the public is advised to ensure their technicians are certified before hiring them.
Reports of suspected unlicensed activity can be submitted to local representatives across Belize, including in San Pedro, San Ignacio, Orange Walk, and Placencia.
