Heating & Air Conditioning / HVAC near Colwood

“Early on Thursday January 8th, 2026 the major tenant in our Esquimalt United Church facility, the Rainbow Kitchen, called to tell us the furnace was supposedly on, but it was only 53 F degrees inside rather than the 68 degrees the thermostat was set for. We called Island Energy, and they immediately sent a technician (Parker) to check it out. He arrived mid-day and checked each of the relevant controls in turn. Nothing definite showed up. He then checked the heat exchanger, using a miniature camera on a 4’ cord which plugged into his cell phone, he found the exchanger tubes were faulty and needed immediate replacement—if any could be found – not likely due to the age of the furnace. Later that day they called us to say the replacement heat exchangers are no longer available, and a new furnace would be required. It could be delivered from Vancouver on the next full business day (Monday) and installed Tuesday.
Parker and a fellow technician arrived Tuesday morning, removed the older furnace, noticed the existing sheet metal work created a reduction in the size of the cold air return, and rebuilt the ducting to maintain the larger volume, thus increasing the system’s efficiency. All was up and running by mid-afternoon.
We are very pleased with the promptness, professionalism,
courtesy, and fair pricing by Island Energy, and we tip our hat to Parker.“

“We were without heat for the weekend and there was frost every day. Monday we called Red Blue .Bryan came out the same day. He was very knowledgeable and quick to diagnose the problem.

“Great service from Aaron, he came the same day even on his day off since it was a bit of a urgent matter. Fixed everything really quick, checked the panel and wiring for safety and for potential future issues. Gave me a very reasonable rate on the service and any parts needed for our electrical issues. The staff on the phone was also super kind and helpful and were a pleasure to speak with. Highly recommend their service and technicians.“

“We have been relying on Gaslight for boiler and fireplace maintenance for several years, and their service has been consistently professional and prompt. They also have exceptional customer care. Jennifer spent time over the phone helping me book an appointment, explaining the rebate process, and suggesting an alternative service date with a discount so I could save some money while getting the service done a few days earlier. It has been a pleasure dealing with Sylvia as well, whether it is scheduling an appointment or assisting with a leaking issue that extended beyond their scope of service. She's been responsive and supportive. Overall, we have had excellent experience with Gaslight.“

“Chris, Kyle and Devon all went above and beyond to get our gas line extension installed. Kyle and Devon even put a new platform in place for our tank when the propane company didn't tell their guy he was supposed to do that as part of moving the tank. I was so impressed with the attitude, the courtesy and professionalism of these gents. Thank you, I will call no other for my gas and plumbing needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕️“

“Some of the dryer ducts in our strata were coming apart . We had contacted numerous businesses and no one seemed able to assist us. Some said they could help and then essentially ghosted us. Our Property Manager referred us to South Island Mechanical. Sean arrived on site, sized up the problem and got to work. He resolved our problem quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after himself! Thank you so much Sean,we appreciate your friendly, pleasant and efficient work. A good job very well done.“
