Services
HVAC Installation
We design and install residential and commercial HVAC systems, including air source heat pumps and ductless splits. Our solutions ensure year-round comfort with energy-efficient heating and cooling tailored to building size and layout. Systems integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, reducing operational costs while maintaining optimal indoor air quality.
GeoExchange Systems
Our GeoExchange systems utilize underground or water-source heat transfer for sustainable heating and cooling. These systems reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional HVAC, with minimal maintenance due to underground components. Ideal for residential, commercial, and aquaculture applications, they provide consistent temperature control while lowering environmental impact.
Commercial Refrigeration
We create custom refrigeration solutions for grocery stores, dairy farms, and industrial facilities. Our systems include walk-in coolers, reach-in freezers, and aquaculture temperature controls. Backed by certified technicians and advanced engineering, installations ensure food safety, energy efficiency, and compliance with industry regulations for long-term operational reliability.
Air to Air Heat Pumps
Our air source heat pumps deliver efficient heating and cooling for homes and businesses. Using outdoor air even at -25C, these systems reduce energy costs while maintaining indoor comfort. Available in ducted and ductless models, they support zoned temperature control and integrate with existing ductwork for flexible, scalable solutions.
Ductless Splits
Ductless split systems provide targeted heating and cooling without extensive ductwork. Ideal for retrofits or spaces with radiant heating, these systems feature wall, floor, or ceiling-mounted units connected to a single outdoor compressor. They offer energy savings, quiet operation, and customizable zoning for improved comfort in any room configuration.
