When your HVAC system is in need of service or replacement you want a highly informed, skilled contractor to complete the job. One way to judge if the contractor you’re considering is performing at top industry standards is to find out if he or she is a member of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America.
ACCA members focus on quality as an essential principle of business. Per their member website, ACCA “promotes professional contracting, energy efficiency, and healthy, comfortable indoor living for all Americans.” ACCA affiliation provides members with access to the latest HVAC technical information and expert advice.
Among the things that ACCA members are noted for:
Maintaining high industry standards
ACCA affiliation requires contractors to maintain licensing and insurance, maintain written strategies on how their business provides quality installations and install a number of quality jobs each year in order to continue membership and distinguish themselves to customers. Per Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA president and CEO: “We believe these accreditation programs will raise the bar for everyone in the industry as customers become more aware that quality installations create healthier and more comfortable homes.”
Keeping the best interest of the homeowner at heart
Quality contractors with ACCA affiliation ensure your system and each of its components suit your home’s needs and are properly matched. They take more than price into account when selecting equipment for you and will inquire into your satisfaction with their service. Quality contractors identify and help correct indoor pollution, ductwork leaks and other issues that could compromise the function and efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system. They address leaks and refrigerant issues with regard to the environment using proper techniques to recover, recycle, reclaim and dispose of it. They show you how to properly use and care for your system to ensure comfort and invest in its efficiency.
