As a trusted HVAC contractor, we often receive questions from homeowners about heat pump installation in Courtenay. If you’re considering a heat pump for your home but aren’t sure where to start, this guide is for you. We’ll walk you through what a heat pump is, the benefits, and the installation process.
We’ve seen a significant shift in the heating and cooling preferences of homeowners. One trend that’s gaining momentum is the replacement of traditional air conditioners with heat pumps. This change isn’t just a fad; it’s driven by substantial benefits that heat pumps offer over conventional HVAC systems.
In this blog post, we’ll explore why heat pumps in Courtenay are becoming increasingly popular and why you might want to consider one for your home.
As the seasons change, so do the allergens present in our indoor environments. For allergy sufferers, this transition can mean days filled with sneezing, itching, and discomfort. However, there’s good news: with the right HVAC solutions, you can significantly reduce allergens in your home and breathe easier during allergy season. For example, we can install an air purifier in a Courtenay, BC home that will make a difference.
In this post, we’ll explore effective methods that we offer to improve indoor air quality and combat allergies.
Indoor air quality plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment. One often overlooked aspect of this is the cleanliness of your home’s air ducts. Dirty air ducts can lead to a range of issues, from increased allergies to inefficient HVAC systems.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the signs that indicate it’s time to schedule air duct cleaning in Courtenay, BC and why reaching out to our professionals for this job is essential for a breath of fresh air.
Imagine your home as a haven of comfort and well-being, where you and your family breathe clean, fresh air. Central to this vision is the “V” in your HVAC system: Ventilation. Proper ventilation is key to maintaining high indoor air quality (IAQ) and a healthy living environment. And the unsung heroes responsible for this ventilation are your ducts.
In this post, we’ll explore why your ducts matter so much to indoor air quality and how poor-quality and dirty ductwork can harm the air you breathe within your home. You can rely on our team to help with improving your indoor air in Quality Courtenay, BC.
Temprite Climate Solutions have been proud sponsors of Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North’s affordable housing projects since 2016. Once again, this January, Temprite’s crew is looking forward to partnering with Habitat VIN to provide 12 new units at 1375 Piercy Ave in Courtenay with Heat Recovery Ventilators, dryer ventilation and range hood ventilation.
As in past projects with Habitat – this year, the company anticipates a few of their generous Red Seal HVAC Technicians will be volunteering their personal time for ventilation installations, and several Journeyperson’s time and expertise will be provided at a reduced cost by Temprite. A portion of the equipment for these ventilation projects has been provided to Habitat at a reduced cost, and some of it has been a Gift in Kind from Temprite Climate Solutions.
Over the past six years, Temprite has offered Habitat Vancouver Island North donations of time and volunteer hours to the value of over $20,000 for their projects in the Comox Valley and Campbell River. By the end of 2023, it is expected that this contribution will likely double!
The company anticipates a Team Temprite volunteer day at the end of January – where Temprite Technicians will work alongside Temprite Admin and Shop Team volunteering to lend a hand wherever needed.
The entire Temprite Team, along with owners Lance Petty and Keanan Egeland, are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Habitat friends once again on this significant project providing affordable housing to the Comox Valley community.

“Are gas furnaces dangerous?” People often ask us this question, and the answer is a conditional “no.”
If gas furnaces posed major safety dangers, they would not be permitted in homes in the first place. A gas furnace can develop safety issues due to neglect and age, which is why we strongly recommend that our customers arrange for annual maintenance to keep their furnace in the best shape.
This gives us an opportunity to catch potential problems before they become problems. One of the reasons gas furnaces can operate at safe levels is because they’re constructed with several safety features to minimize risk. We’ll look at some of these features below.
Everybody is looking for ways to cut down costs and save money. You might not have realized one place where you could reduce your cost of living is with your heating system.
We don’t mean you have to shut off the heater for long stretches of time so you and your family need to bundle up in full parkas when you’re indoors. There are some simple ways you can lower the amount of work your heating system does without making major sacrifices in comfort.
Below are a few of our best tips for less expensive heating this winter (and every winter to come).
The most common type of central air conditioning system and heat pump used for homes is known as the split system HVAC unit. But this isn’t the only type available. Many commercial buildings use a different type of heat pump/air conditioner known as a packaged HVAC unit. These HVAC systems are sometimes used for residential buildings as well, although this is much less common.
We offer service for packaged HVAC units in Courtenay, BC. We’ll talk about what sets packaged HVAC units apart from split systems as well as the advantages they can offer to the right business facility.
In April we posted about how it’s a great month to schedule your regular air conditioning maintenance to prepare for the coming summer. It’s May now, but that doesn’t mean you’ve run out of time or passed the “expiration date” for maintenance. We’re still in spring and your AC hasn’t started the heavy work yet—this is also a good time for you to call us to arrange for professional air conditioning maintenance in Courtenay, BC. We have an excellent residential maintenance program, the Comfort Club, to make it easy for you. Don’t delay, however! You don’t want the hot weather to catch you off guard with an AC that isn’t in the best shape to handle a heatwave.
Perhaps you need a bit more convincing? We’ve put together a few of the benefits of regular AC maintenance tune-ups and inspections that you don’t hear about as much, but which are still valuable.
