CSLB's public data lists 25 refrigeration contractors with a mailing address in Bakersfield, and 24 of them (96%) show a Clear primary status.

36% report a workers' comp exemption, 12.5 points higher than the statewide figure for refrigeration contractors (23.5%), so many of these businesses say they have no employees. The share with a suspension, 4%, is 1.1 points higher than the Kern County rate for the same license (2.9%).

Experience varies: 56% have been licensed 10+ years and 1 is new this year (median 14.5 years, vs 18.6 statewide).

In California this work generally calls for the C-38 Refrigeration Contractor license (or a B license when it is part of a larger multi-trade job). See the C-38 Refrigeration Contractor guide for what the license covers.

How to check a refrigeration contractor's license in Bakersfield

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search Bakersfield). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-38 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  2. Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
  3. Ask for the pocket license and a photo ID and match the name to your contract. Work of $1,000 or more needs a license (the $1,000 rule), and a down payment can't exceed $1,000 or 10% (down payment rules).
