ACTA’s History

The Air Conditioning Trade Association was formed in 1972, by a group of sheet metal, heating and air conditioning contractors who united for the common goal of training and educating the industry workforce. That same year, the group sponsored its first sheet metal training class for apprentices through the Turlock, California Adult Education Program.

In 1993, the State of California accredited ACTA to train apprentices, and in 2003 the Department of Labor federally registered ACTA’s apprenticeship program.

Countrywide Air Conditioning Cautions Homeowners; Keep Family Safe with Electric and Gas Furnace “Safety Checkups”

Houston (PRWEB) January 5, 2009

The professionals at Countrywide Air Conditioning launch a campaign to help educate Houston residents about important air and heating measures they should take this time of year – underscoring the necessity of a furnace safety checkup before running units that first brisk night.

Licensed since 1986, Countrywide Air Conditioning Technician Kennet Karrer explains that many homeowners are unaware of the multiple furnace components that can affect their health and safety, resulting in house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning every year. Having the components routinely checked by a licensed professional ensures that electric and gas furnaces are safe to operate.

“Most Houston residents don’t find a furnace checkup important, simply because they feel they don’t use it enough for there to be any problems. But, often because they sit in the attic all year unused, they begin to rust and corrode – causing the majority of the problems when it is turned on,” said Karrer.

“The burners are covered with rust from the heat exchanger, which causes the flames to ‘roll’ out of the furnace. This is both a fire and carbon monoxide hazard. The electronic gas valve can stick and only work intermittently. In addition people stack flammables such as boxes of Christmas wrapping paper or luggage on top of the furnace, creating additional fire hazards,” added Karrer

Karrer went on to say that electric furnaces are no different and the high voltage electrical connections rust and corrode as well – causing sparks and burnt wires to ignite anything nearby. Identifying potential problems early not only prevents potential hazard but ensures maximum efficiency, which is critical in today’s touch economic climate and high fuel costs.

Countrywide Air Conditioning is a Better Business Bureau accredited business and Texas state licensed and insured. Countrywide offers air conditioning, heating, furnace checkups, repairs and sales – as well as air duct cleaning, mold inspection, home energy audits and emergency same day service.

Chas Roberts Helps Phoenix Homeowners Save on Summer Air Conditioning Costs

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 12, 2009

Summer is here to stay, as 100 degree days are quickly becoming routine. With current economic conditions as challenging as they are, saving money on home cooling costs is now more important than ever for Phoenix and Tucson area homeowners.

Chas Roberts gets asked by people all the time – “Is there anything I can do to cut my cooling costs during the hot Arizona summers?” says CEO Roberta Roberts Shank. Before Phoenix and Tucson area homeowners crank up the air conditioning, Shank shares five tips to help reduce home cooling costs:

1. Clean air conditioner filters – The most important thing a homeowner can do is clean and replace a/c filters frequently. For optimum efficiency and filtration, replace disposable filters at least once a month.

2. Give the air conditioning unit a check-up – Before summer requires heavy use of the unit, have the system checked by a trained technician. Regular air conditioner maintenance is the most effective way to ensure a unit is running efficiently, safely, and offers the best opportunity for extending its life to save money.

3. Every degree counts – Set the air conditioner’s thermostat one or two degrees higher in the summer to save on energy costs. How big a savings is this? For every degree warmer, the homeowner will save two to three percent on the air conditioning bill (1).

4. Only use the air conditioning system when it’s needed – Raising the thermostat when no one is at home and at night can help reduce cooling bills. Although tempting, an air conditioner in Phoenix should not be raised more than five degrees so the system doesn’t have to work so hard to return to the desired setting. A programmable thermostat can make it easy.

5. Energy efficiency pays – If it’s almost time for a new air conditioning unit, Phoenix homeowners should consider replacing now with a more energy-efficient unit. The recently passed federal stimulus bill (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) offers a tax credit for 30% of the installation costs (up to 00) to homeowners who install qualified energy-efficient central air conditioning units January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. Not only will homeowners save on air conditioner installation costs, but an energy-efficient unit will also lower monthly cooling bills (2).

Chas Roberts creates comfortable living environments for Arizona homeowners by providing quality installations and service of heating & air conditioning in Phoenix and Tucson at competitive prices. Chas and Alice Roberts founded Chas Roberts Air Conditioning in 1942 and the business has been family owned and operated since day one. Today the company is the largest HVAC provider in the state with eight locations including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Queen Creek, Litchfield, Avondale, Sun City and Tucson, passes along its buying power to homeowners and backs its service with highly trained personnel and on-line scheduling capabilities.

Air Conditioning Expert Says Annual Tune Ups Save More Money than They Cost

Berkey’s service agreement covers annual tune ups on all air conditioning systems in a home

Southlake, Tex. (PRWEB) April 20, 2010

The average home heating and central air conditioning equipment runs about 3,300 hours per year. That adds up to a lot of wear and tear – the equivalent of driving a car 214,000 miles.

Most people wouldn’t think of driving a car that far without a tune up, yet many go for years at a time without tuning up their central air conditioners. Air conditioning expert Bill Stevens says homeowners who do that are not saving money, but actually losing thousands of dollars.

“Air conditioning tune ups make equipment run at or near original factory specifications, depending on age and overall condition,” Stevens said. “When cooling equipment runs efficiently it doesn’t have to run as long to do the job, so you save a lot on utility bills. And, when equipment doesn’t have to work so hard, it lasts longer.”

But even bigger savings may be in store for some homeowners. Often, AC technicians find small problems that can be fixed quickly and inexpensively during the tune up process, but if neglected can end up being quite expensive.

For example, a refrigerant leak can be repaired easily and affordably if found early. But if it goes undetected, it can drain the refrigerant and burn up the compressor, which could cost ,000 or more to replace. Before it ultimately fails, it will run inefficiently for some time, resulting in hundreds of dollars more in electric bills.

Stevens, president of Berkey’s Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., spelled out what homeowners should get when they pay for a central air conditioning tune up:

Check inside cooling coil, if accessible
Clean primary and secondary drain lines
Check and clean condenser coil; install algae tablets
Check operating pressures for proper refrigerant charge
Monitor air conditioning cycle
Adjust blower components
Lubricate moving parts
Monitor voltage and amperage draw on all motors
Check and tighten all loose electrical connections
Clean and adjust thermostat

“At current prices for electricity, most homeowners recover the cost of a tune up (usually – per system, depending on geographical area) in a very short time in electricity savings alone,” Stevens said. He added that some companies, including his, offer special package deals to reduce the price even further.

Stevens said there are two things most homeowners can do themselves to keep their equipment running right. First, change filers regularly, at least quarterly, but for many homes he recommends changing monthly. Secondly, make certain the outside AC condenser unit is unobstructed at all times. Keep plants around them trimmed back at least a foot. This downloadable publication from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency/Energy Star provides additional helpful insights.

Global Air Conditioning Systems Market to Reach 78.8 Million Units by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Global Air Conditioning Systems Market to Reach 78.8 Million Units by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (Vocus) June 15, 2010

While man’s desire to control the indoor environment led to the invention of air conditioning systems, growth in population, sturdy economic progress, industrialization, rising standards of living, affordability of technology and increase in commercial applications have led to its rapid proliferation across the globe. Hitherto a luxury proposition limited to wealthy and prosperous layer of the society, comfort conditioning is fast becoming a necessity in most of the nations. This metamorphosis has opened a completely new world of opportunities for the global air conditioning systems market. Global warming continues to remain a major factor propelling market demand, especially in the residential segment. Depletion of ozone layer, El Nino effect, and global warming, make up for the primary reasons that create the need for air conditioning systems.

Purchase and use of air conditioning systems in both residential and commercial applications often goes hand in hand with the health of economy in a given country or region. For instance, an increase in per capita income pushes up consumer demand for comfort living and eventually drives demand for high value products such as air conditioning systems, while conversely in periods of slowdown, demand recedes rapidly as consumers quickly axe their spending on high-priced products. Illustrative of this trend is the pal of gloom set over worldwide air conditioning systems markets against the backdrop of the recent economic recession. The economic recession and subsequent trends such as job uncertainty, cutbacks in employee salaries, and unemployment, has left many “comfort and luxury” product markets across the globe in a state of turmoil, and the air conditioning market, given the product’s status as a discretionary item, especially in developing countries, is no exception to this trend. However, hope in the form of Government driven focus on energy efficiency injects optimism among air conditioner manufacturers, as it promises to drive demand for energy efficient air conditioning systems such as inverter based air conditioners in the upcoming years.

Another major factor, which is expected to steer the market in the next few years is the rapidly growing replacement need, particularly in mature markets such as the US and Europe. Given the growing focus on energy conservation, the demand for replacing old air conditioning systems with new energy efficient models will be on the rise, thereby adding to market gains. Replacement demand is also generated by the consumers’ need to replace their existing air conditioning systems with quieter and more feature rich air conditioner models.

As stated by the new market research report on the global Air Conditioning Systems market, Asia-Pacific continues to be the largest regional market, having accounted for a share of about 49% in the total volume sales generated for the year 2009. Growth in Asia-Pacific is fuelled by factors such as rise in urban population, cushioned impact of the global recession on regional economies, favorable job market, and resulting high income levels, increased household gains and rising per capita incomes in countries such as China and India. By product, the room air conditioning systems market- has been the largest market segment for air conditioning systems, contributing a share of about 80% in the total volume for the year 2009. Low-cost feature and ease of installation & maintenance adds to the attraction of room air conditioners, driving its increased sales.

Key players in this marketplace include Airwell Group, Carrier Corporation, Daikin Industries, De’Longhi SpA, Electrolux AB, GD Midea Holding Co., Ltd, GE Appliances & Lighting, Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P., Haier Group, Hisense Group, Hitachi, Lennox Industries Inc., LG Electronics Inc., Mitsubishi Electric, NORDYNE Inc., Panasonic Corporation, Rheem Manufacturing Company, Samsung Electronics Corp., Sanden Corporation, Sharp Corporation, Toshiba Carrier Corporation, Trane Inc., Whirlpool Corporation and York International Corporation among others.

The report titled “Air Conditioning Systems: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a review of noteworthy market trends and growth drivers. The report in addition also enumerates product introductions, recent acquisitions, and other strategic industry activities. The report offers latent demand estimates and projections in volume sales (in ‘000 units) for the global air conditioning systems market by product segments, such as, Room Air Conditioning Systems and Packaged Air Conditioning Systems across geographic markets such as US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa
