ACCA Produces Online Video To Educate Homeowners On Choosing The Right Contractor
Arlington, Virginia (PRWEB) September 27, 2013 -- The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), the nation’s largest association of indoor environmental systems professionals, has produced a new online video to help educate homeowners about how to choose a professional HVAC contractor to meet their heating and cooling needs. The 10 minute video is available at http://www.acca.org/consumer.
“ACCA developed this video for homeowners, because we feel there are many misperceptions about what a professional, quality contractor is and how a consumer can locate one in their area,” said Paul T. Stalknecht, president and CEO of ACCA. “This video is an introduction and overview for homeowners who are doing research about their air conditioners, furnaces, or heat pumps. It shares the valuable information that they need to know, in terms they can easily understand, without overwhelming them.”
The new video features long-time ACCA member Steve Schmidt of Frederick Air in Frederick, MD, and is broken into five segments:
1. Introduction
2. Replacement vs. Repair
3. Choosing The Right Contractor
4. Equipment Selection
5. How To Locate Professional Contractors
ACCA offers many resources for homeowners who are looking for a contractor to meet their heating and cooling needs including:
• Tips for selecting a contractor
• Checklists that help homeowners ensure that their equipment is being installed to industry standards (available in English and Spanish)
• Tips for efficiency and comfort
