Is Your HVAC Contractor a Member of ACCA? He Should Be

Have you ever wondered how qualified your HVAC contractor really is? One sure sign of a reputable heating and cooling company is its affiliation with the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). Here’s a look at what ACCA is, and why you should look for the symbol when choosing an HVAC professional.

What is ACCA?

ACCA is a not-for-profit organization that works with thousands of HVAC professionals in an effort to improve industry standards. When a contractor belongs to the ACCA, it means that they have proven their dedication to professionalism and promoting energy efficiency, as well as a commitment to healthier, more comfortable indoor environments for customers.  These HVAC professionals are passionate about providing you with the highest possible quality of heating and cooling installations and maintenance.
