Tempco thanks Powell River Heating and cooling specialists named business of the year for 2017 And this year’s Powell River Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year award winner is: Tempco, Powell River’s heating and cooling specialists. Tempco owner Tye Leishman had an idea 11 years ago to start a local business focused on providing the best customer service and employing the most highly trained technicians while supporting the community as a whole at the same time. “By providing such a high level of professionalism, many customers initially think Tempco is a franchise,” says Tye, “but the company is 100 per cent locally owned, operated and independent, and 100 per cent Powell River.” Whether customers are considering upgrades to existing home-heating systems, looking to add air conditioning to their homes in preparation for the summer heat or having an existing heating system tuned up, inspected and ready for next winter, Tempco is the number-one trusted choice Powell River homeowners have been choosing for more than 10 years. The company is the factory-authorized expert in Powell River for York, Carrier, Trane, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu high-efficient heating and cooling systems and Regency highefficient fireplaces. SPRING
