ACCA 2024 will feature educational sessions and speakers focused on topics such as workforce development, leadership, finance, and the technical aspects of the HVACR business.
ACCA’s program was developed by contractors, for contractors, to focus on measurable standards and performance metrics that verify high-quality HVAC work.
To address the move toward heat pumps, ACCA has updated Manual S accordingly. Along with setting clear requirements, the revised standard expanded its guidance for variable-capacity equipment.
The ACCA accreditation program involves a comprehensive review of the contractor’s professional licenses and business registration documents, plus the completion of orientation training. The contractor is also subject to third-party verification of ACCA’s Quality Contractor Elements.
Serving alongside Stephen Pape on ACCA's executive committee are Paton, immediate past chair; Martin Hoover, Empire Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., Decatur, Georgia, senior vice chair; Brian Stack, Stack Heating, Cooling, and Electric, Avon, Ohio, secretary/treasurer; Tim Cropp, CroppMetcalfe Services, Fairfax, Virginia, vice chair; and Eddie McFarlane, Haller Enterprises LLC, vice chair.
