Our History

Executive Air Conditioning was first started in 1991 by Scott Bradley who, after trying several different careers, including being a sales rep for an HVAC Contractor, decided to start his own HVAC Company.

Scott was a dedicated, caring and generous individual, to customers, employees and friends alike. His work ethic, determination and charisma helped grow Executive Air into a respected and reputable company.

Scott had a great sense of adventure, fearless energy and loved all the natural beauty British Columbia had to offer. Tragically, on January 2, 1998, Scott was killed in an avalanche along with six others on a back country skiing trip in Kokanee Glacier Park.

Following Scott’s death, his sister Lori Byrd took ownership of Executive Air and set out to continue what Scott had started. Initially, Lori balanced getting to know and understand the business while raising 2 young boys and eventually got more involved with leading the Company.

In 2005, Scott Belsey, a technician with Executive Air since 1993, took over the role of General Manager and began running the day-to-day operations of the Company. Over the next 20 years, Scott took on a small ownership stake in the business and in the Spring of 2025 took over as majority owner of Executive Air as Lori began to move towards retirement.

Throughout the 35 years Executive Air has been in business, the focus has been the same – Provide unparalleled service to customers and work hard to create and maintain a culture where all staff feel safe, valued and enjoy the challenges and rewards of a team environment.
