Welcome to www.HACCAOmaha.org! The Heating and Cooling Contractors Association was formed in 1970 under the name of the Metropolitan HVAC Association, Inc. (This is still the legal name of the Association.)

Membership in the association (commonly referred to as HACCA) consists of contractors, equipment manufacturers, wholesalers, utilities and associate members.

HACCA holds regular dinner meetings the third Tuesday of each month at Caniglia's Venice Inn September through May. (No meeting in December.) The regular meetings include a thirty minute social hour, sponsored by a vendor member, dinner and a program. Programs include such topics as equipment updates, community events, political speakers, industry news and other content.

Dues for HACCA include one free meal at each general membership meeting.

In April the Association sponsors a product show and seminar where HACCA vendor members can display their wares and have an opportunity to socialize with local contractors. An annual golf outing is held each year in Omaha in August and HACCA participates in the Lincoln Association golf outing in May.

HACCA member contractors in 2004 represented 75.9% of all fees and permits taken out.

The Association is managed by a paid President and a ten member board of directors. Board meetings are open to all members and are held on the second Tuesday of each month.

HACCA develops and implements basic and intermediate training programs for employees of member companies. In 2005-2006 ten classes are scheduled. The Association is also active in local and state governmental affairs on issues that affect the industry or the membership.

The Association attempts to represent the industry in a positive fashion and works to increase the professionalism and respect for the industry.
