ACCA has awarded MIACCA members Phil Forner of Allendale Heating Company and John Sedine of Engineered Heating & Cooling the prestigious The Spirit of Independence Award and the Distinguished Service Award respectively.

According to ACCA "John Sedine has been a devoted leader in the industry and ACCA for more than 25 years. He served as Chairman of the ACCA Board of Directors in 2010, served on the Board of the Michigan contracting association, and has served on several state and national code councils. John has contributed to the success of ACCA's standards and codes programs by lending his expertise to the development of multiple ACCA initiatives, including the Quality Installation program, ACCA Manual LLH – Low Load Homes, and countless other efforts."

The Spirit of Independence Award, given to Forner, is ACCA's highest honor. "[It is] presented to an individual who makes significant and lasting contributions to the strength, success, and independence of HVACR contractors. The award recognizes one individual who goes above and beyond the call of duty, displaying creativity, ingenuity, and perseverance in their pursuit of a better industry.

As all of you, our members know, being a part of MIACCA is not only a locally recognized privilege showing professionalism and a commitment to the HVAC/R industry, but our members are such whom are recognized by even national standards.

MIACCA is proud to have these contractors as part of our brood and we look forward to seeing how our members continue to innovate and build in our industry.
