ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) announced the passing of ACCA past Chairman, Mike Callahan, president of Callahan Roach & Garofolo Inc. on July 26, 2022.

He, along with six other contractors in Ohio, came together to form what is now known as the Air Conditioning Contractors of Ohio (ACCO) over concerns about mechanics lien laws.
