Alexandria, VA — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is marking National HVAC Tech Day on June 22 with its largest celebration yet — a national campaign dedicated to recognizing the HVACR technicians who keep homes, businesses, and communities safe and comfortable year-round.
National HVAC Tech Day shines a spotlight on the skilled professionals who brave the elements, work long hours, and solve complex problems to keep the systems America depends on running efficiently. This year, ACCA is honoring them with a large-scale digital campaign designed to amplify their stories and elevate the essential role technicians play in the HVACR industry.
“At ACCA, we believe great technicians deserve to be celebrated. Technicians are the backbone of the HVAC industry. They keep our homes comfortable, business operating, families safe, and communities thriving,” said ACCA President and CEO Barton James. “National HVAC Tech Day is our opportunity to celebrate those professionals loudly and proudly — and to remind the public and our industry alike that this work matters.”
Nearly 250 hardworking HVAC technicians were nominated by their communities and businesses for recognition on National HVAC Tech Day with technicians throughout 30 states being recognized across America. Technicians represent a variety of specialties — residential, commercial, service, installation, and maintenance.
"Our technicians deserve to be nominated for National HVAC Tech Day because our company of 25 wouldn't be where it is today without them," one ACCA member wrote. "Our technicians exemplify what it means to be above and beyond problem solvers--and, at times, even therapists for their customers who have come to love and trust their expertise and know-how for all kind of systems. Everything they touch is fixed with such a sense of caring and pride."
All 2026 National HVAC Technician honorees are publicly listed and viewable on the ACCA website.
National HVAC Tech Day 2026 is made possible with the support of ACCA's Platinum Strategic Partner Midea and additional industry sponsors committed to elevating the skilled trades.
