After 31 years with Executive Air and over 37 years in the HVAC industry, Ron Rykers retired on June 14th. We celebrated the occasion with a company dinner cruise, and Ron and his wife Jodi will now be looking forward to the many travel plans they have made and enjoying this new chapter. Ron was one of the original hires to the Exec Air team and his dedication and loyalty to the company were greatly appreciated.
We are pleased to announce that Ethan Da Silva has joined our team as a first-year apprentice.
Congratulations to these four journeymen on well deserved promotions.

Party time! We held our annual ‘Christmas’ Party January 11th at the River Rock Casino in Richmond again this year. A raucous game of Family Feud, some great prizes and fun had by all. Setting everyone up with rooms to stay the night allowed us all to let loose…………which we did! Such a great group of people.
Our General Manager Scott, Operations Manager Trevor, Service Manager Ron and our Project Manager Steve, all had the opportunity to participate in the BOMA Golf Classic at Northview Golf & Country Club. It was a great opportunity for the guys to mingle with other contractors as well as property managers from all over BC. The weather held up and a great day was had by all. Looking forward to next year’s event.
Executive Air was once again proud to support the Annual UA Local 516 Icebreaker Golf Tournament at Northview Golf Course on June 8th by entering 2 foursomes in the event.

On March 30th and 31st – Executive Air Conditioning was pleased to sponsor a U-9 Boys Soccer Team for the Vancouver Whitecaps “Adidas Cup Tournament” at Newton Athletic Park in Surrey. The tournament was one of the biggest in BC featuring teams from all across Western Canada. Team Executive Air was led by our Operations Manager Trevor and his son Landon, along with his teammates from West Coast Soccer Club in Maple Ridge. Although the results didn’t go our way, the boys represented us well and a great time was had by all. Well Done Boys!
Recently Scott and Trevor participated in Emerson Technologies Third Annual HVAC Leadership Series in Whistler. The two day conference is designed to provide industry updates and insight into what is currently happening in the field, new regulations, and how we can better serve our customers. The highlight was a Workshop led by Dane Jensen, CEO of “Performance Coaching”, designed to help professionals lead under pressure, staying focussed, maintain energy, and show up to work motivated every day. Overall, the event was a great success.
The River Rock Casino Resort played host once again to our company ‘Christmas’ Party on January 12th. No big winners in the casino this time, but congrats to Michael who won our company grand prize draw of a weekend in Vegas! With great food and drinks, and lots of laughs, everyone had a fantastic time.
After several months of design & training, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new Operating system, ES 2.0. this summer. Working with the Ucora Corporation, we’ve designed a new Operating system which lets us interact with our technicians and customers via a web-based platform. Now, all our information on jobs, sites, customers and equipment are at the fingertips of all our staff in real time. This has already seen our efficiency and ability to share information improve drastically and over the next few months, we’ll continue to implement new phases of this system to improve our ability to service our customers.
