The Dairy Farmers of Canada are hosting Comforts of Grilled Cheese on May 8th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm at the Hotel Eldorado in Kelowna. I guess by the name you know you will be eating grilled cheese paired with BC wines.

The Blind Wine and Cheese Soiree by Valley First will be held in Penticton on May 10th from 7-9 pm. This sounds like a fun event, you get to test your pallet and guess what wine is in the bag along with what cheeses your are tasting.

Sounds like fun hope to see you there!

Don Saved....

...our butt. We have a rental house here in West Kelowna and the other morning my wife receives an email from our tenant. She said the furnace has gone out, her husband looked at it and can start it but the fan won't run so it just goes back out. I figured it was a broken fan belt. I call the tenant and ask him to check the fan belt well he couldn't even find a fan belt. Apparently newer furnaces don't even have fan belts! I give Don Sheets of Pro-Temp Mechanical Services a call explain the problem and he tells me what he thinks the problem is. He tells me to try cleaning of the flame rod and then try starting it again. Well sure enough it started and is working just fine.

Don didn't have to tell me what to do he could have came out to the house and charged me for a service call, cleaned the rod and then charged me for his time out there. Thank you Don!

If your furnace or air conditioning is in need of servicing don't hesitate to call:
Don Sheets at Pro-Temp Mechanical Services phone 250-862-6724 or email pro-temp@telus.net

Happy Halloween.......

to all my family, friends and clients!! Have a great day!

Air Conditioning not working?

Yesterday we dodged a bullet as Don put it! The A/C died on the weekend at the rental house, our tenant calls in a panic as he has company and they are melting. So first thing Monday morning we are on the phone looking for someone to come out and have a look at it needless to say we can't get anyone. Steve talks to the guys in his office and Don Sheets of Pro-Temp Mechanical Services is recommended to us. Steve gives him a call and he fits us in.

Don comes out and has a look, the A/C was froze up so he had to turn it off and return the next day as there was no way it was going to thaw in a couple of hours!! To make a long story short it had froze up due to a dirty filter, which had been changed but not soon enough!
Don gave us great service was there both days when he said he would be, actually early the first day. He is a kind and friendly man along with his son.

If you are in need of a Air Conditioning or Heating Specialist please give Don Sheets of Pro-Temp Mechanical Service a call at 250.862.6724. Don services the areas of Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton.

We have added Don to the list of people we would recommend.
