The Benefits of NADCA Membership are Practically Endless

Posted on 01/17/2020

So many benefits come with NADCA membership — from education and training, to referrals, marketing and public relations support. Whether joining for the first time, or renewing your membership, the following are just a few perks of membership. 

New Customer Referrals
Each year, thousands of consumers visit the NADCA’s Find a Professional Directory, generating business for our members through website referrals and member listings that include not only a company profile and contact information for your business, but details on certified personnel and how long your business has been a member. It’s perhaps the most powerful tool our members can leverage.

Increased Market Demand for Your Services
NADCA membership dues support a full-time, dedicated marketing manager who promotes the importance of NADCA membership and certifications in commercial project bid specifications. Nearly 17,000 specifiers, engineers, and architects have the NADCA General Specification, and are aware of the importance of specifying NADCA membership and certification in bid specifications. This means more business for NADCA members.

Internationally-Recognized Certifications
NADCA membership provides significant discounts on training and certification exams including the Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) Certification and the Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) Certification. ASCS certification enhances one’s professional development, and is a world-wide credential recognizing knowledge and skills related to HVAC system hygiene; while CVI certification is an advanced certification developed to recognize industry professionals highly skilled in HVAC system inspection.

Industry-Leading Training and Education
Developing your company's personnel is one of the best investments you can make. NADCA members receive significant discounts on all levels of NADCA training and education, helping you and your technicians provide quality service in accordance with NADCA standards. NADCA offers all sorts of training, both in-person and online. For instance, NADCA offers in-person training related to both industry and business topics at our Annual Meeting and Fall Technical Conference; and our convenient online training and webinars allow our members and technicians to train in the comfort of home or office. NADCA’s Fall Technical Conference provides a unique, hands-on learning experience for both entry-level and advanced technicians, while our online-based Ventilation Maintenance Technician (VMT) training program is geared toward new technicians, and provides education on the most important aspects of HVAC system cleaning. NADCA on-demand webinars and online training help you conveniently and affordably access practical information, from blueprint reading and estimating; to cleaning internally lined ductwork, restoring coils, and home/building performance contracting. There’s so much to learn from our industry experts, and your membership lets you learn from their experience and practical knowledge.

Complimentary Training on Demand
In 2019, NADCA introduced Seminars on Demand, a 24/7 online training portal where members can stream over 100 world-class motivational business speakers from any device. Featuring some of the greatest speakers in the world, the collection of seminars covers topics such as sales training, leadership, communication, time management, presentation skills, goal setting, and much more. Members simply log in to the Members Only section of the NADCA website to take advantage of this benefit!

Using the NADCA Brand to Set Yourself Apart from the Competition
NADCA membership shows commitment to quality, and sets your company apart from your competitors. Your membership dues support NADCA’s investment and commitment to promoting the importance of hiring a NADCA member company in both the commercial and residential marketplace to give you a competitive advantage and ultimately increase your bottom line.

Educating Consumers via Targeted Marketing
We’re all-to-familiar with air duct cleaning scams and “blow-and-go” companies that tarnish our industry’s reputation. NADCA’s ongoing Breathing Clean marketing and social media campaign is designed to educate consumers on the importance of hiring a NADCA member, and how to see the signs of a scammer. Your NADCA membership supports this landmark consumer education campaign, and also gives you member-only access to Breathing Clean marketing collateral, PSAs, videos, social media graphics, infographics, and marketing tips to use while promoting your company.

Fighting Fraud in our Industry
NADCA aggressively pursues trademark infringement and false claims of membership and certification to protect members’ investment. To date, 93 percent of all reported infringement cases have been successfully closed. Your membership dues support these efforts.

Opportunity to Shape and Lead the Industry
Volunteer opportunities to serve on NADCA committees and task forces allow you to not only be heard, but help develop strategic programs and initiatives and participate in decision making that impacts our association, its members, and the industry.
