Did You Install That HVAC System Right? Prove It!

Federal incentives and the prospect of high-efficiency heating have heat pumps in the mainstream and trending in the news. But there is one alarming trend – research has found that 70-90% of homes with air source heat pumps and central air conditioners in the United States suffer from energy-wasting faults due to improper installation. To address this pressing issue, the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has developed a quality installation certificate. This certificate leverages wireless connected tools to rigorously verify proper installation, significantly improving HVAC system efficiency. In this session, you’ll learn about this new certificate and the smart diagnostic tools that power it. Contractors who have embraced this innovative approach will share their invaluable insights on the practical benefits and challenges of using these tools for quality assurance. Additionally, the discussion will explore how this certification can serve as a compelling option for states and utilities seeking to validate quality installations to administer rebate programs.
