Aaron Becker, president of AirSept, was recently reelected by the MACS executive committee to serve as chairman for another term at the association’s 2026 Annual Conference. Founded in 1981, MACS (Mobile Air Climate Systems Association) is the leading trade association that assists service technicians with EPA 609 certification and provides technical training for service professionals, according to officials in a press release. The MACS board of directors guides the MACS association on education, awards, virtual and in-person training, meetings and all aspects of membership solicitation and benefits.
Becker, who previously served as chairman in 2025, was elected to serve a second term as chairman. In addition to his board duties, Becker is also president of AirSept, a manufacturer of automotive solutions for complex repair problems for MVAC systems, including Smart Splice line connectors, Recycle Guard, and most recently, Refrigerant Port Adaptors for retrofitting to new, low-GWP refrigerants now available on the market.
Becker has spent over 30 years in the mobile HVAC industry and has been a MACS member for 26 years. Additionally, he serves on multiple SAE committees and has had extensive experience collaborating with OE engineers, manufacturers and distributors.
“Aaron is committed to advancing education and innovation and brings a unique perspective to the board with his extensive hands-on experience,” said MACS executive director Megan Capie. “The Board was in full support of Aaron taking the reins as the chair for another year.”
MACS Expands Training on New Refrigerants & MVAC Systems
Last year, MACS expanded its in-person and virtual MVAC systems training programs to ensure that technicians were current with new refrigerants and vehicle technologies, noted the release.
“Significant global changes are underway with the phase-down of legacy refrigerants,” said Becker. “It is critical that technicians understand how to safely and effectively service systems using next-generation refrigerants. MACS continues to lead by updating training materials and expanding education around EV climate systems and advanced thermal management.
“As we look ahead, the board is focused on strengthening collaboration with automotive manufacturers, thermal system component suppliers and the aftermarket. This increased engagement ensures MACS delivers the most current, relevant information to technicians and service shops, further enhancing the value of our training and membership.”
