18 years ago, Tye Leishman had an idea to start a local business focused on providing the highest level of customer service, employing the highest trained and respected 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 and air conditioning with the installation of high efficient heat pumps, natural gas furnaces and high efficient hot water systems.
“Whether you are considering upgrading your existing home heating system, having your existing heating system tuned up and inspected or looking to add heat pump/air conditioning for next summer’s heat, Tempco is the number-one trusted choice homeowners have been choosing for over 18 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 very proud of the highly trained expertise and capability of the team members, including André Huiberts, Colin Turner, Dean Merrick, Mike D’onofrio, John Rapp, Alex Chifan, Alex Southcott, Curtis Csuk, Levi Seib, 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 & B gas fitters.
“Being an electrical 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.
With energy efficiency and rising energy costs on everyone’s mind, Tye says Tempco is proud to offer choices for upgrading existing heating systems with attractive homeowner rebates. There has never been a better time to consider investing in a home comfort system to not only lower costs, but to provide year-round comfort, he adds.
“Most homeowners wouldn’t consider buying a new car without air conditioning and the great advantage to installing an energy efficient heat pump is you get cool, comfortable air conditioning all summer long.”
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.
Tempco employees are always happy to provide details on its products and services, says Tye. For more information, call 604.485.5352, email office@ tempcohvac.com or go to tempcohvac.com.
