Who owns A-C Air Care?

A-C Air Care is owned by Jaime Mendoza, who serves as the company’s qualifying HVAC professional and holds Maryland HVAC Contractor License #60218. He is the named individual behind that license, so the credential a customer verifies with the state points to a specific person rather than an anonymous corporate record.

Jaime started A-C Air Care in Elkridge in 2011 and brings more than 20 years of HVAC industry experience, which predates the company’s formal founding date. He stays directly involved in the work: scheduling jobs, overseeing installations, checking in with customers while crews are on site, and answering questions about recommended repairs before anyone commits to them.

That involvement carries through repairs, seasonal maintenance, and full system replacements across Elkridge, Columbia, Ellicott City, and the surrounding Maryland communities A-C Air Care serves. Customers know who runs the company and can ask for a plain explanation of what a system needs and why.

How many technicians does A-C Air Care have, and what are their credentials?

A-C Air Care operates with a four-person team, including owner Jaime Mendoza. That group covers heating and cooling diagnostics, repairs, seasonal tune-ups, full system replacements, and light commercial HVAC work throughout Howard County and the neighboring Maryland counties.

Because A-C Air Care is a small company, the same technicians tend to return across diagnostic visits, installations, and follow-up service. Continuity pays off: a technician who already knows a home’s equipment history spots a recurring fault faster and answers follow-up questions without rebuilding context. Homeowners new to the trade can review what an HVAC technician does before booking a first visit.

Before hiring any Maryland HVAC contractor, ask who holds the license, how much experience the assigned technician has with your equipment type, and what the recommendation would be if the system belonged to them. A-C Air Care answers those questions on the phone and on site.

What certifications and licenses does A-C Air Care hold?

A-C Air Care holds Maryland HVAC Contractor License #60218 and Maryland Minority Business Enterprise Certification #15-541, and the company is licensed, bonded, and insured. Homeowners, property managers, and procurement teams can check both identifiers against the state record, and the Maryland HVAC licensing rules explain why that verification step matters.

  • Maryland HVAC Contractor License #60218, held by owner Jaime Mendoza
  • Maryland Minority Business Enterprise Certification #15-541
  • York Authorized Partner, including a 10-year extended warranty on qualifying installations
  • BGE Authorized Contractor under the EmPOWER Maryland program
  • PEPCO program authorized contractor
  • Licensed, bonded, and insured for HVAC work in the state of Maryland

The MBE certification is a supplier diversity credential issued by the State of Maryland. It matters to homeowners who prefer a minority-owned contractor, and it matters more to facilities managers, school districts, and institutions tracking MBE participation on their vendor rosters. Buyers in that category can review A-C Air Care commercial HVAC services alongside the certification number.

A-C Air Care is a York Authorized Partner, which lets the company register qualifying York installations for a 10-year extended warranty. A-C Air Care is also an authorized contractor for BGE and PEPCO energy efficiency programs, including no-cost tune-ups for eligible BGE customers under EmPOWER Maryland. Financing runs through Wells Fargo, with an 18-month no-interest option on approved credit.
