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.

  • Central AC installs & replacements
  • Cold-climate heat pumps
  • Ductless mini-split systems
  • Furnace repair & high-efficiency installs
  • Ductwork diagnosis, sealing & repair
  • HRVs, ventilation & air quality
What We Handle

HVAC Services Across the Okanagan

Central Air Conditioning

Full-home cooling for Okanagan summers. Proper sizing based on regional climate design days, not templates that underestimate what July actually looks like now.

Cold-Climate Heat Pumps

Air-source heat pumps that handle Okanagan summers and winters in one unit. Often rebate-eligible under CleanBC and utility programs — we track which models qualify.

Furnaces & Heating

Gas and electric furnace installs and service. Sized for North Okanagan -20 lows, not mild-coast winters. Full BC code compliance, permitted and inspected.

Ductwork

Bad ducts waste more money every month than the unit ever will. We inspect, seal, redesign, and repair so the conditioned air actually reaches the rooms that need it.

Ventilation & Air Quality

HRVs, ERVs, filtration, and humidity control — because Okanagan wildfire smoke, winter dryness, and seasonal pollen are all real problems worth solving properly.

Seasonal Maintenance

Spring cooling tune-ups, fall heating tune-ups. We route efficiently across the 11 service communities so small towns aren't waiting weeks for a technician.

How It Works

HVAC That Actually Works Together

  1. Regional Climate Sizing

    We size against actual local climate data — Kelowna and Enderby have meaningfully different design temperatures. Generic templates oversize or undersize, and both hurt.

  2. Matched-System Recommendation

    Central, ductless, heat pump, furnace pairing? We recommend what fits the home, the climate zone, and your budget realistically — not the unit with the best spiff.

  3. Itemized Written Quote

    Equipment, install, ductwork, electrical, gas work, permits — every line separate. No vague 'package pricing' that hides the margin and the scope.

  4. Clean, Coordinated Install

    HVAC, electrical, and gas fitting handled by one in-house team on one coordinated schedule. No waiting on three subcontractors to show up in the right order.

  5. Seasonal Service Commitment

    We commission the system and schedule the first seasonal tune-up before leaving the driveway. Ongoing care is built into how we work, not an upsell.

Why Stevenson

Why the Okanagan Picks Us for HVAC

Cooling-Prioritized in Summer

Summer heat waves are where HVAC systems get tested hardest. We route no-cool calls to the front of the queue when the valley hits peak demand — not three days later.

Regional Climate Knowledge

Vernon's -20 January nights aren't Kelowna's -8 ones. Sicamous summers differ from Oyama summers. We size HVAC against the specific community, not a regional average.

Multi-Trade In-House

HVAC, electrical, gas, plumbing — one team means no sub-trade coordination failures on install day, and warranty calls don't bounce between contractors.

Rebate-Aware Installations

CleanBC heat pump rebates, utility incentives, manufacturer promos — these change frequently. We track them so you don't leave thousands of dollars on the table.

Common Questions

HVAC Services FAQ

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning — so furnaces, boilers, AC, heat pumps, ductwork, and ventilation equipment like HRVs. We handle all of it under one roof across the Okanagan.

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

Yes. Cold-climate heat pumps work well throughout the region, often paired with a gas furnace for backup on the coldest North Okanagan nights. We help you figure out whether it pays off for your specific home.

We work with major manufacturers and match the brand to the application and budget. We're not tied to one brand's commission structure — the right unit depends on your home, not our margin.

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

Yes, across all 11 service communities. No-heat calls during winter cold snaps and no-cool calls during Okanagan heat waves get prioritized routing — we know waiting isn't an option.

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!
