Air-Tro Inc. of Monrovia,
Calif., was the commercial winner
of the ACCA’s 2011 Contractors of the Year program. The winner was announced at
the Feb. 17 closing session of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America’s
43rd Annual Conference and Indoor Air Expo in San Antonio.
“We
had some very notable commercial contracting companies in the running as
finalists this year,” said Paul T. Stalknecht, ACCA president and CEO. “Air-Tro
Inc. stands out as a leader in the industry by advocating for quality
installations and supporting ACCA’s efforts to create and improve the QI
standard.”
Robert Helbing, president of Air-Tro, said the
honor was a privilege.
“This is the greatest honor an HVAC
contractor can hope for; it's like a baseball player being named most valuable
player, or an actor receiving an Oscar,” he said. “Everyone in the HVAC
industry knows we work in a field with a low profile; we find job satisfaction
in work done well rather than in public acclaim. That makes it even more
exciting for us at Air-Tro to have been chosen for this award."
