Homeowners are putting more time into choosing an HVAC contractor than ever before. They’re researching their options, comparing companies, and looking for signs that a contractor will deliver quality work.
This makes sense. A new HVAC system is a major investment, and they want to feel confident in their decision.
The challenge is that many of the tools available to them do not provide clear answers.
- Online reviews can be unreliable
- Recommendations vary from one homeowner to another
- Sales conversations do not always reflect actual installation quality
Because of this, homeowners are turning to trusted third-party resources to help them narrow their options.
ACCA At Home helps homeowners narrow the field
ACCA’s homeowner-facing sister site, ACCA At Home, is one of the resources homeowners are using to make more informed decisions. It’s full of educational content designed to help them cut through the noise and find contractors who meet a higher standard, and at the center of the site is a Find a Contractor directory.
This directory allows homeowners to search within their area and view ACCA member contractors. More importantly, it also allows them to further refine their search to narrow in on contractors at the forefront of quality HVAC work.
QI contractors gain increased visibility
One of the available filters in the directory allows homeowners to identify contractors who are issuing ACCA Quality Installation (QI) certificates.
This creates a clear advantage: Contractors who issue QI certificates are easier to find. Instead of blending in with a long list of companies, these contractors stand out as businesses that are proving the quality of their work with verified, third-party-backed results.
Connect with homeowners who value quality
Homeowners are using ACCA At Home to actively search for a contractor, and they’re looking for reasons to trust one company over another.
When your business is identified as a contractor issuing QI certificates, you are putting yourself in front of homeowners who are:
-
Searching in your service area
-
Using a trusted industry resource
-
Focused on finding quality, not just the quickest (or cheapest) option
Being listed as a contractor issuing QI certificates also helps shape a customer’s perception of your business early. It shows that your company follows a process that verifies installation performance and meets established standards.
This level of transparency builds confidence and helps move your company higher on the homeowner’s shortlist.
Make your commitment to quality more visible
QI certificates already support better outcomes for your business. They help ensure consistent installations, reduce callbacks, and reinforce your reputation for quality work.
They also make that commitment visible in a place where homeowners are actively making decisions.
In a competitive market, visibility matters. Being recognized for quality in ACCA At Home’s Find a Contractor directory gives your business an additional way to stand out and connect with the right customers.
