SARACCA OFFERS SA MEMBERS
A PAYMENT HOLIDAY
By SARACCA
The Covid-19 pandemic has turned the national economy on its head.
The HVAC&R industry is one of the industries affected. Due to the
lockdown, many HVAC&R businesses have not been able to operate to
their fullest proficiencies.
The restrictions on the movement of persons and services
provided has had a negative impact on the ability to generate
income as anticipated. The South African Refrigeration & Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (SARACCA) is extremely
concerned about the livelihood of all member companies.
SARACCA’s primary objective is to ensure all its members
run profitable businesses. “We are not concerned about mere
survival, we want our members to thrive,” says SARACCA
President, John Parry.
Taking into consideration all the financial constraints brought
by the Covid-19 pandemic, SARACCA is offering a 6-Month
payment holiday to its members.
During these 6 months, SARACCA wants their members to
make the most of their membership benefits to ensure their
businesses stay afloat. This includes receiving contractual advice,
subsidised training courses, and marketing publicity on HVAC&R
projects completed.
The association has built very close relationships with these
individual businesses, and does not wish to lose any of them as
members due to financial restraints.
It is important to note that only members with up-to-date
levy payments will be considered. As of June 2020, most
of SARACCA’s recognised training providers courses have
Creative Commons
resumed. All Covid-19 protocols will be extensively followed.
Classes will be kept to below five people in each session. If
you would like to renew your SAQCC Gas registration, you are
advised to register to attend the relevant training course as
soon as possible.
