Alexandria, VA (September 16, 2024) – The Air Conditioning Contractors of America Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) Standards Task Team (STT) announces American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approval for reaffirmation of ACCA 4 QM – 2019 (R2024), Maintenance of Residential HVAC Systems.
ANSI approved the reaffirmation on August 7, 2024 after a 45-day public review period with no comments received. This is to comply with ANSI’s Essential Requirements which require ANSI standards to either be withdrawn, revised, or reaffirmed every 5 years.
The ACCA 4 QM 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.
