What is ACCA?
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is a leading trade association for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals. ACCA establishes industry standards, provides training, and advocates for best practices to ensure efficient and high-quality HVAC services.
ACCA is known for creating important design and installation guidelines, such as Manual J, which calculates residential cooling and heating loads, and Manual D, which outlines duct system design. These standards help contractors and engineers design HVAC systems that maximize energy efficiency, comfort, and system longevity.
Membership in ACCA offers HVAC professionals access to educational resources, certifications, and business tools to improve service quality and stay compliant with industry regulations. Contractors who follow ACCA guidelines are better equipped to provide reliable and energy-efficient HVAC solutions.
By adhering to ACCA standards, both residential and commercial customers can trust that their HVAC systems are properly sized, installed, and maintained, leading to improved indoor air quality, energy savings, and system performance.
