Cooling for the Lake, Heating for the Hills

Lake Country HVAC has a specific set of challenges. Carr's Landing and Okanagan Centre lakefront homes have floor-to-ceiling glass facing the water with gorgeous views, serious thermal loading in July and August. Hillside homes above Woodsdale and along Oceola Road get afternoon sun exposure that generic sizing tables miss. Newer subdivisions are tighter and better-insulated, needing different airflow approaches. Orchard properties toward the airport face wildfire smoke more directly than most valley homes.

Stevenson Mechanical installs and services HVAC across every Lake Country community that demand central AC, ductless mini-splits, cold-climate heat pumps, furnaces, and ductwork. We size against real local conditions (lake-effect exposure, hillside sun, new-build tightness) and run one in-house team for HVAC, electrical, and gas work so the install gets coordinated properly the first time.

  • Central AC installs & replacements
  • Cold-climate heat pumps
  • Ductless mini-splits
  • Furnace repair & high-efficiency installs
  • Ductwork sealing & redesign
  • HRVs & air quality (smoke filtration)
What We Handle

HVAC Services for Lake Country Homeowners

  1. Central Air Conditioning

    For homes with existing ductwork that are sized against real Lake Country summer loads, including lakefront west-facing glass that generic spec sheets under-account for.

  2. Cold-Climate Heat Pumps

    One unit for summer cooling and shoulder-season heating. Often CleanBC and utility rebate-eligible and we track which models qualify at quote time.

  3. Furnaces & Heating

    Gas and electric furnace work tuned to Lake Country's climate are warmer than Vernon, similar to Kelowna. So we install only right-sized, not oversized, based on experience, not guesswork!

  4. Ductwork

    Uneven temperatures in Carr's Landing multi-level homes and hillside Lake Country properties are almost always duct problems, not equipment problems. We diagnose and fix.

  5. Wildfire Smoke Filtration

    Airport-belt and orchard properties get hit harder by summer smoke. We install HEPA and activated-carbon filtration built into the HVAC system.

  6. Seasonal Maintenance

    Spring cooling tune-ups, fall heating tune-ups. Priority routing across Lake Country so you're not waiting weeks during peak demand.

How It Works

HVAC That Actually Works Together

  1. Whole-Home Assessment

    Square footage, windows, insulation, lake or hillside exposure, and layout all matter. We look at the whole Lake Country home and not just the equipment.

  2. Honest Recommendation

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

  3. Itemized Written Quote

    Equipment, install, ductwork, electrical, gas work, permits where every line separate. No package pricing hiding the scope or the margin.

  4. Clean, Coordinated Install

    HVAC, electrical, and gas all handled by one in-house team on one coordinated schedule. No waiting on three sub-trades in sequence.

  5. Commissioning + Service Plan

    System started up properly, airflow balanced, first seasonal tune-up scheduled before we leave the driveway.

Why Stevenson

Why Lake Country Homeowners Pick Us for HVAC

Lake-Effect Sizing

Lakefront homes face west-facing glass loading that generic sizing ignores. We size for real Lake Country exposure, especially on Carr's Landing and Okanagan Centre properties.

Smoke Filtration Expertise

Wildfire smoke is a real summer issue for airport-belt Lake Country. We build filtration into the system properly and not as an afterthought aftermarket add-on.

Rebate-Aware Installs

CleanBC, FortisBC, and BC Hydro rebates change frequently. We track them and build them into your quote so you don't leave thousands on the table.

Multi-Trade In-House

HVAC, electrical, gas fitting are installed by one team, one warranty. Service calls don't bounce between contractors months later.

Common Questions

HVAC FAQ in Lake Country, BC

Usually yes, if either is near end of life. Matched systems perform better and install costs drop significantly when the crew does both in one visit.

Often yes. Lake Country's climate is slightly milder than Vernon and similar to Kelowna, so heat pump economics are favourable. Cold-climate models handle our winters well and often qualify for CleanBC rebates.

Lakefront glass with west exposure heats up faster than generic sizing tables predict. Usually the AC is undersized for the actual load, or airflow isn't reaching upper floors. We diagnose the real cause before recommending replacement.

Yes. We install HEPA and carbon filtration into the HVAC system — not bolt-on room units. Lake Country's airport belt and orchard areas get hit harder than downtown Kelowna, so proper filtration matters.

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

Yes. No-cool calls during heat waves and no-heat calls in winter cold snaps get prioritized routing across every Lake Country community.

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!
