About Us

Who’s the best heating & cooling company in Nanaimo?

Well, we might be a little biased but since you're asking… here’s why we think Coastal Energy is one of the best Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) companies in Nanaimo. Let the humble bragging begin!

We’re proud to have served Nanaimo and Central Vancouver Island since 2006. Located in Nanaimo, we offer installation and repair services to most of Central Vancouver Island, including Ladysmith, Cedar, Parksville, Qualicum and nearby communities.

We offer certified installation, maintenance, and repair of heat pumps, furnaces, air conditioners, air cleaners, HRVs and more! We are innovative, environmentally conscious, and offer affordable choices for all your heating and cooling needs.

20 years of experience & counting.

Coastal Energy isn’t new to the game and 2 decades of serving Nanaimo, homes means we’ve seen every layout, retrofit, and “surprise” an Island house can throw at you, and you know exactly how to handle it.

Selection of Top Tier Brands.

Fujitsu, Carrier, York & Moovair, Hitachi to name a few. We don’t believe in one-brand-fits-all heating and cooling. Your home, your budget, and your comfort needs are unique so our lineup of brands should be too.

Over 10,000 HVAC installs.

Coastal Energy has handled every type of home, layout, and heating challenge imaginable, more than 10,000 times. That level of experience means smoother installs, fewer headaches, and systems that perform precisely the way they should.

Reputation, Reviews & Referrals.

With one of the strongest review profiles on Vancouver Island (650+ Google reviews and an A+ Better Business Bureau standing), Coastal Energy has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: honest service, real results, and homeowners who are happy enough to tell the rest of the Island about it.

Locally owned & operated.

After years of navigating the ups and downs of other companies, Paul and Corey started Coastal Energy with a clear purpose: to put quality first, treat customers with honesty, and create a place where crews are proud of their work. That purpose still defines the company today, with both owners staying actively involved in the business.

"Good, Better, Best options"

Tailored for Vancouver Island homes, Coastal Energy makes choosing the right system simple. With clear “good–better–best” product tiers across multiple brands, homeowners can pick the perfect match for their budget, their comfort preferences, and the unique demands of Island weather without the guesswork.

Discounts & Monthly Financing.

From seniors discounts to flexible monthly financing options, Coastal Energy makes it easy to upgrade your home’s heating and cooling without draining your savings.

Experienced, happy crews.

Our crews don’t come and go—they stay. Most of our team has been with Coastal for more than a decade, thanks to our commitment to work-life balance and family values. So when we show up at your home, you’re getting seasoned professionals who know our systems inside and out, take genuine pride in their craft, and deliver dependable, high-quality workmanship every time.
