HISTORY

The Arkansas HVACR Association was formed in 1986 as the Arkansas Heat Pump Association.  In 1997, it became fuel neutral with the primary intent to provide opportunities for technical and business education and to promote professionalism within the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration industry.  We desire to serve Arkansans by ensuring that their comfort and refrigeration needs are met through quality HVACR design, installation, and service by well-trained, reputable industry personnel.  The Association works with the State Licensing Board and local inspectors to assure consumers that their installations conform to code and meet the comfort, health and safety needs of their homes and businesses.  The Association has eight chapters across the state that meet regularly; Central, Ft. Smith, Hot Springs, North Central, Northeast, Northwest, South Central, and Texarkana.  To know more about the Arkansas HVACR Association, we invite you to call or email.
