& Building Controls in West Kelowna
ProGrade Solutions helps you get real control over your electrical and HVAC systems, not just another app on your phone. From smart thermostats and zoning to equipment interlocks, control repairs, and light commercial building controls, we make your home or building run safer, more efficiently, and the way you actually use it.
Kyle brings both electrical and HVAC expertise to control systems. That means proper wiring, correct equipment staging, and controls that work with your actual equipment.
Why Building Controls Matter
Lower Operating Costs
Equipment runs when it should, not 24/7. Proper scheduling and control systems mean your HVAC and electrical systems operate efficiently instead of wasting energy.
Comfort & Control
Zone control and proper equipment staging mean consistent temperatures where you need them. Effective, variable control over heating and cooling in the spaces you actually use.
Safer Equipment Operation
Proper interlocks ensure exhaust fans, make-up air, and gas equipment work together safely. Controls prevent unsafe operating conditions.

Why Choose ProGrade for Control Systems
Building control systems sit at the intersection of electrical and mechanical. Most contractors specialize in one or the other, electricians wire controls but don't understand HVAC equipment staging, and HVAC techs understand equipment but aren't ticketed to run all necessary electrical properly.
Kyle brings both. As a licensed Electrician, Red Seal HVAC Mechanic and Gas Fitter, he understands how controls need to interact with your equipment.
What this means for you:
- Proper wiring and correct equipment staging
- Controls that work with your specific furnace, heat pump, or rooftop unit setup
- Expert troubleshooting when controls fail
- Practical solutions that make sense for how you use your space
