Local knowledge, island standards.
Waterfront and near-water homes in Cowichan Bay, Maple Bay and Genoa Bay live in salt air, and salt air is hard on outdoor units. We spec coastal-appropriate equipment (corrosion-protected coils and cabinets), place units out of direct spray and prevailing salt wind where the site allows, and finish with marine-grade fasteners — small details that add years of life.
Many Cow Bay character homes still heat with oil — and oil-to-heat-pump conversions are the valley's richest rebate path at $10,000–$16,000 income-qualified, including documented tank removal. Heritage exteriors get the respect they deserve: tidy lineset routing, sensitive penetrations, paint-matched covers.
We're ten minutes away in Duncan, so service is neighbour-speed — and your install joins the local job photos and reviews that anchor our Cowichan reputation.
