Install It. Test It. Prove It!

Customers are growing more discerning, and they want to feel they’ve gotten what they’ve paid for. Now you can give them that peace of mind with one of two Quality Installation (QI) certificates: Verified Equipment Operation and Verified System Performance.

A QI certificate means that both the install tech and the homeowner know the system was installed correctly. ACCA QI certificates are third-party verification of quality that customers can trust, showing a contractor has delivered on their promise of exceptional HVAC installation, commissioning, and system performance.

With increased competition among HVACR contractors, standing out in the crowd is more important than ever. ACCA QI is a mark of differentiation that sets you apart, making it easier for homeowners to identify quality work from quality contractors.

1. The contractor installs a new HVACR system.
2. The installation tech uses digital probes to collect measurements and the measureQuick app analyzes the system’s performance.
3. If the measurements qualify, the installation earns a QI Certificate, which can be purchased directly through the app. If not, the technician follows measureQuick’s easy-to-follow diagnostic process to improve equipment and system performance until it does.

Verified Equipment Operation (VEO) certification is earned when a new HVAC installation meets high standards in areas including:

• Airflow
• Refrigerant charge (for air conditioners and heat pumps)
• On-rate combustion (for furnaces and boilers)
• Electrical

To earn Verified System Performance (VSP) certification, the entire HVAC system is considered, including everything required for VEO certification plus:

• Ventilation
• Manual J® load calculation
• Manual S® equipment selection
• AHRI matched system
• Tight ductwork
• Balanced ductwork

A VSP certified system that uses qualifying ENERGY STAR equipment will also be certified with an ENERGY STAR Verified HVAC Installation (ESVI) certificate.

To help spread the word about QI certificates, ACCA is offering contractors free marketing support, including:

• A new QI landing page for your website
• Homeowner-friendly videos and infographics explaining the value of QI
• QI Contractor badges
• Educational sales sheets
