About ProGrade Solutions - Your Okanagan Electrical, HVAC & Gas Fitting Expert

Hi, I'm Kyle Smith, owner of ProGrade Solutions. With 15 years of experience in electrical, HVAC, and gas fitting, I’m a triple-certified Class A FSR Master Electrician, Red Seal Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic, and Class B Gas Fitter. Whether it’s a furnace repair, panel upgrade, or full home automation install, you get honest, reliable service every time.


When you call ProGrade Solutions, you work directly with me, no salespeople, no juniors, just professional, experienced work done right.

How ProGrade Solutions Started

What I learned through all those experiences is simple: people want honest service from someone who knows what they're doing. They don't want pushy sales tactics or unnecessary upsells. They want a professional who shows up, diagnoses the problem correctly, explains their options clearly, and completes quality work at a fair price.


I've been working in the trades since the beginning of my career, building expertise across electrical systems, HVAC installation and repair, and gas fitting. Over 15 years, I've worked on everything from residential service calls to large commercial and industrial projects. I've been the electrician on construction sites, the HVAC technician diagnosing complex system failures, and the gas fitter ensuring families stay safe and warm.


That's why I started ProGrade Solutions. I wanted to build a business where I could work directly with customers, provide the multi-trade expertise they need, and deliver the kind of service I'd want for my own home. No fancy showroom overhead. No expensive advertising campaigns. Just straightforward, professional work backed by the highest certifications in the trades.

How I Work With Customers

From first call to final inspection, I keep things simple, clear communication, skilled work, and respect for your time and space.

Honest Communication

I explain what needs to be done and why, in plain language. If your system can be repaired, I'll tell you. If it needs replacement, I'll explain your options without pressure. You make informed decisions based on honest information.

Quality Workmanship

Every installation, repair, and upgrade is completed to code and backed by my workmanship guarantee. I don't cut corners, and I don't leave until the job is done right. Your safety and satisfaction matter.

Fair Pricing

I keep overhead low by avoiding unnecessary expenses like fancy offices and expensive marketing. Those savings go directly to you in competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. You get professional-grade work at fair rates.

When you call ProGrade Solutions, you get me—not a salesperson or a junior technician. I handle your project from start to finish, ensuring consistent quality and clear communication throughout.

Respect for Your Home

I treat your home with respect. Work areas are kept clean, and I minimize disruption to your daily life. Professionalism extends beyond technical skills to how I conduct business in your space.

My Core Values

Integrity Above All

I built ProGrade Solutions on honest service. That means transparent pricing, straightforward recommendations, and doing what I say I'll do. No gimmicks, no bait-and-switch tactics, just honest work.

Expertise That Matters

I'm committed to continuous learning and staying current with code changes, new technology, and industry best practices. My certifications aren't just credentials, they represent real expertise that benefits every customer.

Customer-Focused Solutions

Your needs drive my recommendations, not upsells or commissions. I take time to understand your situation and provide solutions that actually make sense for your home and budget.

Quality Without Compromise

Every project receives the same attention to detail and professional standards, whether it's a small repair or a complete system installation. Doing the job right matters more than doing it fast.

Local Accountability

I live and work in the Okanagan. My reputation is built here, and I'm accountable to this community. When you hire ProGrade Solutions, you're working with someone invested in local relationships and long-term trust.

What Makes ProGrade Solutions Different

Multi-Trade Expertise

Most contractors specialize in one trade. I hold master-level certifications in electrical, HVAC, and gas fitting. That means one call handles all your home systems, no coordinating multiple contractors or dealing with finger-pointing when systems interact.

Real Experience

I've worked across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. I've done new construction and emergency repairs. I've installed cutting-edge smart home systems and repaired decades-old equipment. This breadth of experience means I've likely seen and solved your problem before.

Direct Owner Involvement

You're not getting a random technician from a dispatch board. You work directly with me, the owner, on every project. That means consistent quality, clear accountability, and someone who genuinely cares about the outcome.

Serving Homes & Businesses

While I primarily work with homeowners throughout the Okanagan, my commercial and industrial experience means I can handle larger, more complex projects when needed. I've worked on commercial HVAC systems, industrial electrical installations, building automation for various property types, and complex manufacturing controls where precise, fast responses are critical.

Residential Focus

Most of my work is in homes, helping families stay comfortable, safe, and worry-free. Whether you're upgrading a panel, replacing a furnace, or adding smart home technology, I provide the same expert service.
