What is ACHPA ?
The Affordable Comfort Housing Performance Association was formed under
Affordable Comfort, Inc.. Over 125 ACHPA members in the US and Canada provide
services which increase the comfort, health and safety, efficiency and
durability of housing through the treatment of the house as a whole system.
Despite the decline of federal, state and utility funding for energy
efficiency programs -- there is considerable consumer and contractor interest
in housing performance and energy efficiency. It is ACHPA's goal to use
that interest to create a long term, consumer driven market for high quality
housing performance services.
What do ACHPA members do ?
Advanced
diagnostic testing and problem solving services,
Air sealing and
duct sealing,
Heating, cooling
and ventilation, service, design and installation,
