Cooling Built for Kelowna Summers, Heating for Whatever Winter Brings

Kelowna summers have changed the math on HVAC. 35°C+ stretches, heat dome warnings, and smoke from wildfires that rules out opening windows have turned air conditioning from a nice-to-have into the system your home needs to stay livable. And Upper Mission, Wilden, and Dilworth Mountain hillsides face a particular challenge from west-facing glass, afternoon sun exposure, and thermal loading that makes generic AC sizing a recipe for a system that can't keep up in August.

Stevenson Mechanical installs and services HVAC systems across every Kelowna neighborhood. Whether we are talking about central AC, ductless mini-splits, cold-climate heat pumps, furnaces, and ductwork. We size against real Kelowna design days (38°C summer, -8 winter), we account for hillside exposure and elevation, and we run one in-house team for HVAC, electrical, and gas, so the install gets coordinated properly the first time.

  • Cold-climate heat pumps
  • Ductless mini-splits
  • Furnace repair & high-efficiency installs
  • Ductwork design, sealing & repair
  • HRVs, ventilation & air quality
What We Handle

HVAC Services for Kelowna Homeowners

  1. Central Air Conditioning

    Sized for Kelowna's real peak loads, not generic square-footage templates that undersize hillside homes.

  2. Cold-Climate Heat Pumps

    One unit for both summer cooling and shoulder-season heating. Rebate-eligible through CleanBC and utility programs we track which models qualify.

  3. Furnaces & Heating

    Gas and electric furnace repair, replacement, and annual tune-ups. Sized for Kelowna's moderate winters with no oversizing that just burns extra fuel.

  4. Ductwork

    Uneven temperatures in Upper Mission multi-story homes are almost always duct issues, not the unit. We inspect, seal, redesign, and balance.

  5. Ventilation & Air Quality

    HRVs, filtration, and humidity control. Kelowna's famous seasonal wildfire smoke and dry winter air both solved by the right equipment, sized right.

  6. Seasonal Maintenance

    Spring cooling tune-ups, fall heating tune-ups. We prioritize annual service so nothing fails at the worst possible Okanagan moment.

How It Works

HVAC That Actually Works Together

  1. Whole-Home Assessment

    Square footage, windows, insulation, hillside exposure, and layout all matter. We look at the whole house: not just the equipment being replaced.

  2. Honest Recommendation

    Central, ductless, or heat pump? We pick what fits your Kelowna home and budget realistically, and tell you plainly when premium gear doesn't pay back.

  3. Itemized Written Quote

    Equipment, install, ductwork, electrical, gas, and permits: every line separate. No vague package pricing hiding what you're paying for.

  4. Clean, Coordinated Install

    HVAC, electrical, and gas fitting all under one team. The install gets coordinated in-house, not held up by subcontractor scheduling.

  5. Commissioning + Service Plan

    We start the system up properly, balance airflow, and book your first seasonal tune-up before leaving the driveway.

Why Stevenson

AC-First in Heat Waves

Heat domes are where HVAC gets tested. We prioritize no-cool calls in July and August so you're not stuck in a week-long queue when it's 38°C.

Hillside Knowledge

Upper Mission, Wilden, Dilworth Mountain, Black Mountain hillside homes have specific HVAC challenges. We size for them correctly, not off a template.

Rebate-Aware Installs

CleanBC heat pump rebates and utility programs change frequently. We track them and build them into your quote so you don't leave money on the table.

Multi-Trade In-House

HVAC, electrical, gas fitting services by one team, one warranty. No subcontractor chains and no finger-pointing on service calls later.

Common Questions

HVAC FAQ in Kelowna, BC

Usually yes, if either is near end of life. Matched systems perform better, install costs drop when the crew does both at once, and you avoid compatibility issues between new and aging components.

Often yes. Kelowna winters are milder than the North Okanagan, so heat pump economics are favourable. Cold-climate models handle our winters well, and many qualify for meaningful CleanBC rebates.

Hillside homes with west-facing glass get hit harder than generic sizing tables predict. Often the AC is undersized, or the ductwork can't deliver enough air to upstairs rooms. We diagnose the real cause rather than just swapping the unit.

Abbott Street and older South Pandosy homes often have no ductwork at all. Ductless makes more sense there. Homes that already have good ducts (most post-1970 builds) are better candidates for central AC.

Cooling in spring, heating in fall. One visit per season catches problems before they strand you, keeps manufacturer warranties valid, and keeps efficiency up.

Yes. No-cool calls during heat waves and no-heat calls during cold snaps are prioritized. We run lean so our techs aren't buried on other work when weather turns.

Shadd and his team are absolutely wonderful and did a great job. I needed a basement sink plumbed and new washer dryer hookups and they were able to get it done in short order, kept everything tidy and were super easy to deal with. They knew my budget and worked with me to stay within it and gave me everything I needed. They are very professional, skilled and their prices are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US! 4 weeks ago, our hot water and air conditioning quit working on the same day! I called and spoke with the AMAZING Denise, she had Alex out at our shop within the day and he had everything diagnosed and parts ordered, not long after the first appointment, he had our hot water back in working order and then our A/C was repaired after that! Anytime we have had any issues, they have been very prompt to show up on the same day and Alex fixed it all! Such amazing and friendly services! You all have a forever client with Integra Tire and our team moving forward! Thank You!

Plumbing problems are never fun, but we appreciated how Stevenson Mechanical handled the replacement of our sump pump --from booking the appointment to the on-time arrival of our plumber and his friendly, competent service (which included persevering through some unexpected issues). Thank you for your expertise and excellent service!

This company is great! We needed to have our air conditioning unit disconnected and moved temporarily as we were getting our backyard patio redone. They were able to accommodate our last minute request, they completed the work quickly and got our unit reconnected just in time to beat the heat ! I would highly recommend them!
