ACCA Announces ANSI Public Review Period for Reaffirmation of ACCA 4 QM – Maintenance of Residential HVAC Systems

The Air Conditioning Contractors of America Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) Standards Task Team (STT) announces an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) public review period for reaffirmation of ACCA 4 QM – 2019, Maintenance of Residential HVAC Systems.

The 45-day ANSI public review period started on June 21 with a comment deadline of August 5. This standard is proposed to be reaffirmed with no changes in accordance with ANSI’s 5-year essential requirements.

A public review form for comments with a link to the above standard has been posted at the following link: ANSI Public Review Form - 4 QM - ACCA

This standard provides a nationally recognized, manufacturer-endorsed set of minimum tasks that should be performed for HVACR equipment maintenance inspections. From this list, consumers can compare the value of the additional recommended corrective actions that may be needed to remedy identified faults. For contractors, it provides a common platform for creating a maintenance program while allowing for bundling of different recommended corrective actions.
