The Heating and Cooling Contractors Association (often referred to as HACCA) was formed in 1970 as the Metropolitan HVAC Association, Inc. 

  

Membership in the Association is made up of contractors, equipment manufacturers, wholesalers, utilities, educators and associate members. 

  

Every application for membership in HACCA must be approved by the Association Board of Directors.  Contractors must be licensed in all jurisdictions in which they operate, be insured and bonded. 

  

HACCA holds regular membership meetings on the third Tuesday of each month September through May, skipping the December meeting.  Membership dues include a free meal at each regular meeting.  Membership meetings are an opportunity to network with peers, enjoy a social atmosphere and learn from the programs presented.  Programs include equipment updates, code changes, community speakers, industry news and other content. 

  

Each spring HACCA sponsors a Product Show and Seminar for the area HVAC industry.  Member vendors can display their wares and socialize with area contractors.  A number of seminars are presented with top name speakers from around the country with seminar content designed for a variety of employees. 

  

An annual golf outing is held each year in August and HACCA participates in the Lincoln Association meeting in May. 

  

A study of HVAC permits issued in the Omaha area show that HACCA members perform over three fourths of all the work in the area. 

  

The Association is active in local and state government affairs on issues that affect the industry or the membership.  The Association attempts to represent the industry in a positive fashion and works to increase the professionalism and respect for the industry.
