19 years ago, Tye Leishman had an idea to start a local business focused on providing the best customer service, employing the highest trained technicians and supporting the community as a whole. Tempco, Powell River’s Heating and Cooling Specialists, was born, and the idea has been very successful, says Tye, the company’s owner.
“Providing such a high level of professionalism, many customers think Tempco is a franchise,” he adds. “Tempco is 100 per cent locally owned, operated and completely independent, and 100 per cent Powell River.
Tempco has been helping homeowners save money and improve comfort in their homes by upgrading existing heating systems with the installation of high efficient heat pumps, natural gas furnaces and gas fireplaces, including natural gas tankless and electric hot water heaters.
With the government incentives currently available, this is possibly the best time ever to invest in homes and upgrade to an energy saving heat pump. Based on household income, homeowners could receive up to $21,000 to cover the costs of heat pump installation, including electrical upgrades. Tempco will guarantee what rebate amount they are eligible for and confirm the total cost of the upgrade before starting any work.
“Tempco is the number-one trusted choice homeowners have been choosing for over 19 years,” says Tye. “We are the factory authorized specialists in Powell River for York heating systems, Fujitsu and Samsung high efficient heating and cooling systems, and can provide expert service and repairs to all manufacturers' models. If you require service, Tempco is the one to call.”
Tye says he is extremely proud of the highly trained expertise and capability of the team members, including André Huiberts, Colin Turner, Dean Merrick, Mike D’onofrio, Curtis Csuk, John Rapp, Levi Seib, Alex Chifan, Alex Southcott, Jeanette Haas, Shannon Thompson and Carli Missio. Tempco HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) technicians are expertly trained to handle any heating, air conditioning or commercial refrigeration requirements. Qualifications include Red Seal-certified tradesmen, including refrigeration journeymen, electrical journeymen and Class A gas fitters.
“Being an electrical, gas and HVAC contractor enables us to complete a variety of jobs from start to finish, without the need to hire subcontractors,” says Tye. “Tempco truly is your one stop local HVAC shop.”
Shannon and Carli are the ones to talk to when customers are in need of service, he adds.
“We understand having the right people on the job is just as important as choosing the right equipment,” says Tye.
Here is a recent review from longtime client Bill Chinn: “Some things never change and in the case of Tempco Heating and Cooling, that's a good thing. Our annual servicing was done recently and we are always amazed at how professional, courteous and knowledgeable the Tempco Technicians are. It all started 14 years ago when they installed our heat pump and electric furnace. We have never looked back and are very grateful to have them be our exclusive heating and cooling specialists. Thank you.”
Considering the mild west coast climate, Powell River is one of 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 be installed in any home, especially to replace existing costly electric baseboard heaters.
Tempco staff encourages all current and future customers to drop by for a visit at 7239 Duncan Street, where an operational heat pump is on display as well as information on all energy efficient products.
