Whether homeowners are considering upgrades to existing home-heating systems, installing central air conditioning for comfort all summer, or looking to improve the air quality in their homes, Tempco is the trusted choice Powell River residents have been selecting for 10 years.

Powell River’s heating and cooling specialists have been helping homeowners save money and improve home comfort by installing high-efficient heat pumps, natural gas furnaces and Regency gas fireplaces, including Rinnai natural gas tankless hot water heaters.

Tempco, a 100-per-cent locally owned and operated company, is the factory-authorized expert in Powell River for York, Carrier, Trane, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu high-efficient heating and cooling systems.

Owners Tye and Jeanette Leishman are proud of the highly trained expertise and capability of staff members, including Matt McDowell, Colin Turner, Dean Merrick, Tristan Pope, Derrick Alexander, Kurtis Dennison, Jeremy Prosser and Crystal Burnett.

“All Tempco heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) technicians are expertly trained to handle any heating, air conditioning or commercial refrigeration requirements,” says Tye.

Qualifications include government Red Seal-certified tradesmen, including refrigeration journeymen, electrical journeymen, plumbing journeymen and class A gas fitters.

“Being an electrical contractor enables us to complete a variety of different jobs from start to finish without the need to hire subcontractors,” says Tye. “Tempco truly is your one-stop HVAC shop.”

Jeanette, a chartered accountant, takes care of the accounting components of the business while Crystal, in dispatch, talks to customers in need of service.

“We know having the right people on the job is just as important as choosing the right equipment,” says Tye.

With energy efficiency and rising energy costs on every consumer’s mind, Tempco is proud to offer many choices for upgrading existing heating systems.

“FortisBC is offering a $2,000 rebate to homeowners who choose to switch out old, money-wasting oil furnaces and replace them with high-efficient natural gas furnaces and natural gas hot water tanks,” says Tye.

In addition, on April 1, FortisBC announced that Powell River residents will see a reduction of approximately $52 per year on natural gas heating bills. Also, BC Hydro announced a rebate of $800 when high-efficient ductless heat pumps are installed.

“Combined with our special consumer financing and thousands of dollars in manufacturers’ rebate offers, now is the perfect time for homeowners to consider investing in high efficiency,” says Tye.

Due to its mild West Coast climate, Powell River is one the best locations for an air source heat pump. Tempco offers two types: forced air units, using existing air ducts, and ductless units that can replace inefficient electric baseboard heaters.

“As the York HVAC dealer for Powell River, a few Tempco staff have toured the York factory in Wichita, Kansas,” says Tye. “We have such a great relationship with York; it just adds to the high level of service and expertise we are able to offer.”

Tempco encourages current and future customers to visit its staff at the Powell River Home and Garden Show this weekend at the complex, and also to drop by Tempco’s beautiful showroom at 4493-F Marine Avenue (corner of Courtenay Street, next to Duke’s Liquor Store).

“An operational heat pump is on display, as well as Regency gas fireplaces,” says Tye. “Staff are always happy to provide details and information on products and services available.”
