Organization

The Ontario Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Contractors Association is a Not-For-Profit organization incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario as a Corporation Without Share Capital.

Purpose - Mission Statement

The purpose of the Association is to represent and serve the HVACR Contractors in Ontario with programs and services that promote responsible solutions to issues which benefit our members, customers and the general public.

Commitment To Industry Excellence

For both ORAC members and the public at large, our motto is one of significant importance. The Association seeks to promote pride in its profession and Industry and to educate the buyer and public in understanding the importance of the profession and how to qualify competent and responsible contractors. Association activities include closer liaison with all concerned through written, visual and direct communication. The advancement of the Industry’s expertise to the buyer of services and to those who specify systems is important to raise the level of quality and efficiency in order to realize the best value for the customer.

With the increasing complexity of building technologies and construction methods and growing Government regulations, a greater demand for professional caliber contractors is evident. People are needed who can accept responsibility, control the cost and the quality of services they perform.

By requesting an ORAC member to perform the work directly, the owner, consultant, specifier or general contractor will gain true and long-lasting value and Industry expertise.
