Summer-First HVAC for a Valley That Keeps Getting Hotter
The Okanagan's climate isn't what it was twenty years ago. Heat dome warnings, 40-degree August stretches, wildfire smoke that rules out opening windows — the cooling side of HVAC is now the side that gets tested hardest. Meanwhile North Okanagan winters still drop past -20, and shoulder seasons demand a system that switches smoothly between modes. Single-trick equipment and generic installs don't cut it in a valley with this much range.
Stevenson Mechanical installs and services HVAC across 11 Okanagan and Shuswap communities — central AC, ductless mini-splits, heat pumps, furnaces, ductwork, and ventilation. Our approach starts with cooling (because that's where the Okanagan gets hit hardest now) and integrates heating into the same system design. One crew, one warranty, and load calculations done against actual regional climate data — not the generic spec sheets that treat Vernon and Victoria like they're the same thing.
