What Clients Say
Working with FRESCo has saved me an immeasurable amount of time and being able to pass on an expert opinion to the building’s owners has simplified the entire process. The final proposal was so well laid out that I agreed with FRESCo’s recommendations without any further questions and approval was received quickly. I highly recommend FRESCo and I look forward to using their services for future projects.

Gentlemen: it is with great appreciation that I thank FRESCO and Paul Ristow for their expertise in planning and designing a total rebuild of my 30 suite apartment boilers. We installed 2 IBC high efficiency units and a DHW storage tank. The layout was very intricate and required the engineering expertise of Paul to map it out. Chris Lum working with the FortisBC RAP Program assisted and was instrumental in obtaining a very favourable FortisBC rebate for us. FortisBC bills are showing a very good ROI.
Tony Taylor, ,
“the implementation support is exactly what we need; an independent look at contractors’ quotes, apples to apples. I get many different opinions and different prices from different contractors; hard to know who to trust, what real costs are.”

I have had the pleasure of consulting with FRESCo for the upgrade of a low-efficiency boiler and heating system in a rental high-rise in Vancouver’s West End. Their energy efficiency program and the services they offered have been greatly beneficial to me as a property manager. FRESCo has sourced competitive bids and provided an easy-to-understand bid checklist with unbiased recommendations based on cost, incentives, efficiency and future savings. FRESCo has saved me an immeasurable amount of time, and being able to pass on an expert opinion to the building’s owners has simplified the entire process.

Our experience with the FortisBC Rental Apartment Program has been excellent. Very smooth and really appreciate the assessment reports and recommendation. They have helped to bring to light certain issues we were unaware of prior.
