MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — A new HVAC contractor organization has been formed in Alberta, Canada, to represent the interests of the industry at hearings before the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (AEUB). The Alberta HVAC Coalition is supported by the Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Contractors of Canada (HRAC), the Sheet Metal Contractors Association of Alberta (SMCAA), the Mechanical Contractors Association of Alberta (MCA-Alberta), and Lennox Inc.
According to HRAC, the coalition was set up to represent industry views at hearings before the AEUB on the proposed sale and transfer of retail gas and electric assets from ATCO, the largest utility in the province, to Direct Energy Marketing Limited (DEML) for $130 million.
