Your HVAC livelihood could be exposed to fines and/or lawsuits that could cost thousands of dollars. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is being interpreted to include a business’s website as “places of public accommodation”. This includes your business's website. It might not be your purpose but if your website has unusable components to it you could be exposing your business to fines and/or lawsuits. Persons with disabilities can think this is discriminatory against them and other people with disabilities and based on that perspective your website might be in violation of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities (ADA) Act.

The facts are in and businesses of all sizes, even those with less than 15 workers are experiencing fines in record cases. For HVAC companies specifically, your site needs to be ADA compliant and operational. Website accessibility means that your websites features are usable with remediation to those with handicaps. This means your website is easy to use and can also offer more sales for your business.
