Now is the best time to upgrade

home heating systems.

“Money is so cheap right now,

coupled with easy financing with

12 months no payments and

energy rates so high,” says Tye

Leishman, co-owner with his wife

Jeanette of Tempco Refrigeration

and Air Conditioning, “the ROI

has never been better.”

ROI means return on invest-

ment and Tye estimates there will

be a five to 10 per cent ROI when

a new heating system is put in a

home. “You need to do the math,”

adds Tye. “You’ll see that invest-

ing in your home will be the best

return on your money. What other

investment provides actual im-

proved comfort you can feel?”

A 100 per cent locally owned and

operated union company, Tempco

keeps its diverse staff busy in-

stalling high efficiency heating

systems including gas furnaces

and fireplaces, heat pumps and

energy saving on-demand hot

water systems along with com-

mercial refrigeration service and

maintenance. Working with Tye

and Jeanette are Matt McDowell,

Dean Merrick, Colin Turner, Keith

Brown, Adam Heinz, Kris Carlson

and Haydan Fetterly.

When Steve and Jill Waghorn’s

gas furnace started to show signs

of age and the limits of the tech-

nology of its era, they had Tempco

come and give them a recom-

mendation and quote for a new

unit. “We decided on the York

Gold Comfort System and were

happy with the attention given

to us as well as the installation

itself. Thanks to Tye, Matt, Colin

and especially Keith, who held to

his promise of not having us go

without heat or hot water the first

night. We live in an older home

and were impressed with how

they made it adapt and the mini-

mal disruption we experienced.

We would recommend Tempco for

its service and workmanship.”

Another couple, Bill and Janet

Chinn, after two years of “hem-

ming and hawing,” finally re-

placed their gas furnace with

a new York high efficiency heat

pump. “This was a huge step for

us as obviously there is signifi-

cant cost involved to doing such a

thing,” says Bill. “Having said that,

I can tell you that not only was

Tempco’s quote consistent with

others that we received, but their

overall service and attention to

detail was second to none. Every

person in the company has their

own niche and they all worked in

concert with each other to provide

a seamless installation. They were

quick, polite, efficient, easy to talk

to and always seemed to have

time for our unending questions

and concerns. Their expertise was

unparalleled. When it was all said

and done, Tye presented us with

a handy binder with all manu-

als, paperwork and everything

else you would ever want to know

about our system. He always had

time to meet with us throughout

the entire process and didn’t stop

until we were completely 100 per

cent satisfied and comfortable.

“Being a person who believes

that the true measure of any

good and successful company is

not only in the ownership, but in

the people it employs,” adds Bill,

“both my wife and I can honestly

say that we would never hesitate

to recommend Tempco for any-

one’s heating and cooling needs.

They were truly a step above.

“My only regret, why didn’t we

call them two years ago?”

According to Emma and Matt

Larocque, “The service we re-

ceived from all the staff at Tempco

was excellent. They provided us

with information on all our op-

tions and helped us to make the

best decision for our situation.

We were thrilled to see the back

of our oil furnace and grateful to

Tempco for their professional,

friendly, knowledgeable service.”

Tempco employees encourage

all current and future customers to

drop by and visit their informative

booth at this year’s Home Show at

Powell River Recreation Complex

from May 11 to 13. Tempco will

have an operational heat pump on

display as well as great giveaways

and lots of information.

Tempco employees are al-

ways happy to provide details

on their products and services.

They can be reached by calling

604.485.5352, by email office@

tempcohvac.com or by dropping

by the office at 4493-F Marine

Avenue. More information on the
