Premier HVAC Services in North Okanagan
We are a locally owned and operated, award-winning HVAC company in the North Okanagan of British Columbia! If you’re looking for someone to help with maintenance of your air conditioning unit in the North Okanagan, we are ready to help!
According to the Government of Canada, it’s extremely important to maintain your air conditioning system for safety, not just comfort! Staying cool is important in extreme heat and so is your home’s air quality—both can be affected by an air conditioner that isn’t running well.
Our Coldstream Mechanical HVAC technicians are extremely efficient and knowledgeable when it comes to performing preventative maintenance on AC systems in the North Okanagan—especially because the summers around Vernon get VERY hot and people run their cooling systems at double time all summer long.
If it’s been a while since you’ve had your AC checked out and tuned up, call us today to schedule a routine air conditioner maintenance call to make sure your AC is running safely and effectively. The best time to do preventative maintenance on an AC unit in the North Okanagan is in late spring before the heatwaves of summer start rolling in.
When conducting AC maintenance, we’ll work on
- Adjusting the electrical system for tighter connections and safe operation.
- Lubrication of moving AC parts to prevent friction and promote efficient operation.
- Cleaning the AC condensate line to prevent clogging.
- Scrubbing the evaporator and condenser coils for maximum airflow and heat absorption.
- Straightening the aluminum coil fins for efficient airflow.
- Assessing the system controls for proper functionality.
- Changing out your air conditioner’s air filter (if it needs it & with your approval) and removing the debris and dirt lodged in the system

Air conditioning questions from Vernon homeowners
Answers to what people ask before they call.
Do you install ductless mini-splits in Vernon and Coldstream?
Yes. Ductless mini-split installation, repair and replacement is a core part of our cooling work. We install Mitsubishi Electric systems, which suit homes without ductwork, additions, garages and condos where a central system is not practical. One outdoor unit can run several indoor heads, so a whole home can be covered without new ducting.
Do you service heat pumps as well as air conditioners?
Yes. Heat pump installation, repair and maintenance is covered on the same visit as air conditioning, since a heat pump is an air conditioner that also runs in reverse to heat. Most new cooling installs in the North Okanagan are now heat pumps because they replace both the AC and part of the heating load, and the office handles the rebate paperwork where a system qualifies.
What does an AC maintenance visit include?
A technician tightens and tests the electrical connections, lubricates the moving parts, clears the condensate line, cleans the evaporator and condenser coils, straightens the coil fins, checks the system controls and changes the filter with your approval. A tune-up before the summer heat catches the small faults that turn into a breakdown on the hottest week of the year.
Do you repair all brands of air conditioner?
Yes. We repair all major makes of central air conditioner, heat pump and ductless system, including York, KeepRite, Mitsubishi and Lennox. Parts for common brands are stocked on the trucks, so most repairs are finished on the first visit.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
Repair it if the unit is under about 12 years old and the fix is a single part such as a capacitor, fan motor or contactor. Replace it if the compressor has failed, the unit still uses R-22 refrigerant, or the repair quote is more than half the cost of a new system. A new heat pump may qualify for a rebate, which changes the maths. Our technicians put the numbers in writing so the decision is yours.
Which areas do you cover for air conditioning?
Vernon, Coldstream, Armstrong, Lumby, Lake Country and Oyama, plus the rest of the North Okanagan. If you are outside that list, call the office and we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you.
