WESTBOROUGH – A Plus HVAC of Westfield is one of nine New England-based contractors to receive a 2015 Cool Smart award.

The honors were presented recently at the annual golf tournament of the Air Conditioning Association of New England (ACA/NE).  

Sponsored by the Massachusetts/Rhode Island Cool Smart program, the awards are given out during the sporting event held in Stow, Mass.  The winning contractors specialize in heating, ventilation and air conditioning and are recognized for the quality installation of energy saving equipment and their overall contributions to the program.  Springfield resident and A Plus HVAC owner/president, Nathan LeMay, accepted the award.  His firm has received this honor for three consecutive years.        

Cool Smart is a high-efficiency heating and cooling rebate program for residential customers of National Grid, Eversource, Unitil and the Cape Light Compact.  These program administrators sponsor the awards and the tournament to recognize contractors in Mass. and R.I. for outstanding service and an ongoing commitment to energy efficiency.  Launched in 2004, Cool Smart promotes the purchase and installation of Energy Star-qualified and high-efficiency air conditioners, heat pumps and water heaters.  Awards are distributed annually to recognize outstanding contractors for leadership, quality work and active program participation.

Unitil program coordinator Kevin Parse, attended the event.  He said, “For the past decade, we have witnessed more and more contractors participating in Cool Smart.  This program is important to public health, because greenhouse gas emissions and pollution are reduced by up to 30 percent as a result of their outstanding work.  On behalf of Eversource, we are proud to be affiliated with the program and its committed contractors throughout the region. We applaud A Plus HVAC for its third consecutive win and hope to see even more participants next year.”
