Summer-First Cooling, Winter-Ready Heating

Vernon summers have changed. Thirty-five-degree afternoons, heat dome warnings, and smoky August stretches that rule out opening windows mean air conditioning isn't a luxury anymore... it's the system that keeps your home livable from June through September. And when the weather flips in November, the same household still needs a furnace that can keep up with -20 winter nights and morning frost on the inside of single-pane windows. One team, both jobs, one system that has to work together.

Stevenson Mechanical treats HVAC as a complete system, not a stack of bolt-ons. We install and service central AC, ductless mini-splits, heat pumps, furnaces, and ventilation across Vernon and the North Okanagan! From Coldstream acreages and BX split-levels to Okanagan Landing lakefront homes and Bella Vista hillside retrofits. One crew, one quote, one warranty, and equipment sized for how real Vernon homes actually behave through a full year.

  • Central AC installs & replacements
  • Ductless mini-split systems
  • Heat pumps (air-source & cold-climate)
  • Furnace repair & high-efficiency installs
  • Ductwork design, sealing & repair
  • Ventilation, HRVs & air quality
What We Handle

HVAC Services for Vernon Homeowners

  1. Central Air Conditioning

    For homes with existing ductwork, central AC ties cooling into the system you already have — so every room actually cools, not just the one next to the thermostat.

  2. Heat Pumps

    Modern cold-climate heat pumps handle Vernon summers and shoulder-season heating in one unit. We size and install them properly — not off a generic spec sheet.

  3. Furnaces & Heating

    Gas and electric furnace repair, replacement, and annual tune-ups. Sized for real Okanagan winters, permitted and inspected to BC code.

  4. Ductwork

    Rooms that never cool or heat up properly? That's usually duct sizing, sealing, or routing — not the unit itself. We diagnose and fix the actual cause.

  5. Ventilation & Air Quality

    HRVs, ERVs, filtration, and humidity control — because Vernon summer wildfire smoke and dry winter air are both problems worth solving.

  6. Seasonal Maintenance

    One spring visit for cooling, one fall for heating. Keeps warranties valid, catches small issues before they strand you in a heat wave or cold snap.

How It Works

A System That Actually Works Together

  1. Whole-Home Assessment

    We look at square footage, insulation, windows, and layout — not just the old equipment. The new system has to match the house and how you live in it.

  2. Honest Recommendation

    Central, ductless, or heat pump? We pick what fits your home and your budget — and tell you plainly when a premium upgrade doesn't pay back in Vernon's climate.

  3. Itemized Written Quote

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

  4. Clean, Coordinated Install

    HVAC, electrical, and gas fitting all under one team. The job gets coordinated in-house — you're not waiting on three subcontractors to show up in sequence.

  5. Commissioning + Service Plan

    We start the system up properly, balance the airflow, and schedule your first seasonal tune-up before we leave the driveway.

Why Stevenson

Why Vernon Homeowners Pick Us for HVAC

AC-First When It Matters

Heat waves are where the HVAC gets tested. We prioritize cooling calls in July and August — you're not stuck in a week-long queue when it's 38°C.

Whole-System Thinking

Heating, cooling, airflow, and ventilation get treated as one system. Most comfort problems are interaction problems, not single-unit problems.

Okanagan-Sized Equipment

Load calculations done against real Vernon climate data — 35°C summer design days, -20 winter design lows. Generic spec sheets miss both ends.

Same Team, Year After Year

Install in June, tune-up in October, warranty call in March — same crew the whole time. That's what 'local' is supposed to mean.

Common Questions

HVAC FAQ — Vernon, BC

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

If you already have quality ductwork, central air is typically more cost-effective and cools more evenly. For older homes without ducts, or for finishing a basement suite, ductless mini-splits often make more sense.

Modern cold-climate heat pumps perform well through Okanagan winters, especially paired with a gas furnace as backup. Whether it pays off depends on your gas vs. electrical rates and how well-sealed the home is.

Cooling in spring, heating in fall. One visit per season catches small problems early, keeps manufacturer warranties valid, and keeps efficiency up when you need it most.

Yes — usually. That's almost always ductwork, zoning, or airflow balance, not the furnace or AC itself. We diagnose the actual cause instead of recommending a bigger system.

Yes. No-heat calls in winter cold snaps and no-cool calls during Vernon heat domes are prioritized. We run lean so our techs aren't buried on other jobs when the 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!

Called just before noon, on a Friday, at 1:40 plumber arrived and fixed problem in 15 minutes. Very nice young man. I will be calling back soon for some quotes on other needs. Thank you so much to the receptionist for reaching out to staff and arranging such prompt service. Today had old gas fireplace removed. Yet again outstanding service, owner came to assist very quickly. Answered all my questions. Thanks guys.

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!
