About

Our owner, Kris Otto, began working in the HVAC industry in 1999. During his apprenticeship, Kris gained experience in industrial, commercial and residential HVAC, including residential furnace replacements, AC installs and service work. Kris saw a need in the industry for a company focused on quality workmanship and good customer service. This well rounded work experience gave him the knowledge needed to branch off on his own.

Kris & his family

Kris and his wife Journie incorporated Otto Heating & Cooling Ltd in March of 2007. They hit the ground running the following June. The company was initially working out of the garage and one bedroom in their home. The installations for our clients were done by just Kris for the first year of business out of his 2006 GMC van.

Slowly and steadily relationships were built, with new clients and new contractors.  Word of mouth spread.  More work began coming to Otto Heating & Cooling Ltd.  This led to a need for growth.  New employees were added and more vehicles purchased.

The biggest turning point for Otto Heating & Cooling Ltd was in the fall of 2012.  At this time, we were awarded multifamily community contracts from two separate residential builders as well as two large commercial contracts.  This influx of work lead to a need for further immediate growth bumping our labour force up to 10 men.

We have been able to keep our crew about that size for more than 5 years. We have many long term employees and we greatly value their loyalty, hard work and dedication to quality and our company.  On staff we now have gasfitters, sheet metal mechanics and refrigeration mechanics; journeymen and apprentices.  This expertise enables us to be able to care for a wide variety of tasks making us a very well rounded group able to help customers of all different sizes.

Our company has always had the motto of quality first.

Quality service and installs are always in the forefront at our company meetings and this attitude is one of the reasons our company has grown. Referrals are what keep our company running!

We are so proud and blessed to have formed so many great relationships over the years with our clients, suppliers and homeowners.  You can't put a price on that!  We are always looking to grow and build new friendships. For all of you that have given us your business, over the years: THANK YOU!  Your support has helped us to get where we are today.  THANK YOU!  To all future customers: WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU! Otto Heating & Cooling Ltd - Since 2007. “Quality Service is OTTOmatic”
