Thank you to everyone who joined us at Sweetwater Cocktails, Whiskey & Kitchen in Boynton Beach for our Palm Beach Air Conditioning Contractors Association (PBACCA) Board Installation Night in December. It was a wonderful evening of connection, celebration, and support for the future of our industry. Sweetwater delivered an exceptional dining experience, with an abundant spread of beautifully prepared dishes that truly made the night extraordinary.
During the event, additional raffle tickets were sold to benefit Royal Palm Beach High School (RPBHS) HVAC Academy, featuring a mini-split generously donated by Lennox. Thanks to your support, PBACCA will be donating $500 to the Royal Palm Beach High School HVAC Academy to help support students entering the trade.
A special moment of the evening was dedicated to honoring Board Director John Riley of Al Packer Ford, one of the longest-serving members of the association. As John looks toward semi-retirement in 2026, we took the opportunity to recognize his years of dedication and unwavering support of PBACCA. In appreciation of his lasting impact, John was presented with a miniature PBACCA-branded Ford truck, a small token of our deep gratitude for his commitment to the association and its members.
We are proud to have an active and robust Board leading PBACCA forward and are pleased to introduce our newly elected officers:
President: Sean Caplan, EDS Air Conditioning & Plumbing
President Elect: Robin Worrell, State Energy Heating & Air
Vice President: Thomas Carpenter, First Degree Air Conditioning

McGill Air Conditioning and Steve Sparks of TWC Services, Inc.
While we have quite the robust Board who is engaged, we are currently seeking a member to step into the Secretary role. If you’re interested in contributing to PBACCA leadership and would like to learn more about the time commitment, please contact Alexa Lee. It’s a great opportunity that is not as time consuming as you would imagine but pays dividends in what you will learn and grow from being a part of this leadership.
