🏆 Best of Patan 2026 – Mark Turner

Next up is Mark Turner, our 1st Year Sheet Metal Apprentice.

What stands out most about Mark isn’t just the work he does—it’s the type of teammate he is.

Mark is everyone’s biggest supporter. He’s always helping someone, always checking in, always trying to lift people up and make the day better. He genuinely cares about the people around him and the success of the team.

The growth Mark has already shown has been impressive. Working alongside people 10+ years older than him every day could be intimidating for a lot of people, but Mark continues to show maturity beyond his years. He listens, absorbs information, asks questions, and keeps proving just how smart and determined he is.

He may very well be one of the youngest apprentices in the Okanagan, but you’d never know it by the way he carries himself.

He’s the kind of teammate every crew wants beside them and the kind of person who makes the team stronger around him.

Apologies in advance for the photo Mark, but the world deserved to see this one 😄

A true example of the Best of Patan 2026.

🏆 Best of Patan 2026 – Ryland Lebedoff

Next up is Ryland Lebedoff, our 2nd Year HVAC Apprentice.

Ryland was actually the inspiration behind our Rising Tech Program. He started with us with absolutely no experience—he just wanted an opportunity and was willing to get moving.

Since then, the growth has been unreal.

Ryland has shown a tremendous aptitude for HVAC. He’s an incredibly smart young man, and if you needed a definition for reliable, his name would be somewhere near the top of the list.

One of the things that stands out most about Ryland is something that simply can’t be taught—his kindness and the level of respect he shows to everyone around him. Clients, coworkers, suppliers—it doesn’t matter. He carries himself extremely well.

And one thing about Ryland—he doesn’t know the word quit either. Just pure determination.

Because of that mindset, he has already far surpassed the knowledge level you would normally expect from a second-year apprentice.

Ryland is a rare breed of apprentice, and someone we are incredibly proud to have on our team.

Ryland also speaks fluent hockey slang, so translated properly
the boy has been showing absolute dangles through his apprenticeship and deserves a celly for being part of the Best of Patan 2026 đŸ’đŸ”„

Thank you for nominating us and giving this team the chance to go toe to toe with the best Penticton has to offer in HVAC. đŸ™đŸ”„

At Patan Heating & Air, we get to see this team up close — the way they work, the way they think, and how much they actually care.

It’s not for show.

It’s pride in the trade.
It’s staying on something longer than expected because it’s not right yet.
It’s holding a standard even when no one would notice if you didn’t.

Some days you open up a system and just laugh

who fed the gremlins after midnight. 😅

You take a second, maybe say a quick prayer
 and then you go to work.

Because that’s what this team does.

They don’t walk away.
They don’t settle.
They push — every day — to be the best at what they do. đŸ’Ș

And it shows.

Now
 Team Patan is stepping up.

Going for Gold. đŸ„‡

If they’ve shown up for you, had your back, or earned your trust — we’d appreciate your support.

🏆 Best of Patan 2026 – Dakota T**e

Next up is someone who has been a cornerstone of our team for a long time—Dakota T**e.

Dakota is our 4th Year HVAC/R Apprentice, and truly one of the top guys we have.

From the day we first started working together to today
 you wouldn’t recognize him. The growth—both personally and professionally—has been remarkable.

Dakota brings a level of drive that’s hard to find. The moment he reaches a goal, he raises the bar again. There’s no coasting. No settling. Just constant forward movement.

He’s become an exceptionally well-rounded tradesman, someone who can handle just about anything thrown his way. When something is outside the box, he’s the one we count on. Nothing really fazes him
 anymore.

Dakota isn’t just part of the team—he’s someone we depend on. That’s been earned through years of showing up, putting in the work, and delivering when it matters.

Outside of work, Dakota is an avid camper, always the life of the party, and one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet.

He is a true example of the Best of Patan 2026.

🏆 Best of Patan 2026 – Skye Larson

We’re kicking off the inaugural Best of Patan 2026 with someone who truly represents what we’re about—Skye Larson.

Skye is one of our Sheet Metal Apprentices and he’s just built different.

He’s determined, reliable, and dedicated. The kind of person who shows up every day ready to work, learn, and push himself. No shortcuts, no complaints—just steady effort and growth. That mindset is rare, and it shows in everything he does.

He’s become a huge part of our success and truly a pleasure to have on the team. Someone you can count on, day in and day out.

Outside of work, Skye carries that same mindset into everything. He’s an avid hunter and someone who genuinely respects the outdoors, discipline, and putting in the time. One of a kind, no question.

This weekend, Skye steps into the cage representing Penticton, training out of Skoden Martial Arts. And if he fights the way he works
 it’s going to be a problem for someone.

Pound for pound, he’s a menace.

We’re all behind you Skye—let’s go đŸ‘ŠđŸ”„

The Rising Tech Program was created because it’s time to be honest about how our industry trains the next generation.

Across the entire trade, apprentices have been doing maintenance in people’s homes for years — but no one talked about it. Many were even told to keep quiet about being apprentices, worried homeowners wouldn’t want them there.
That’s not fair to homeowners, and it’s not fair to the next generation of technicians.

We’re changing that.

We’re not salesmen — we’re tradesmen.
And tradesmen don’t train in the shadows.

The Rising Tech Program brings transparency back to HVAC maintenance.
Homeowners know exactly who is in their home, what their experience level is, and how they’re being supervised and mentored every step of the way.
Because learning should be visible, supported, and celebrated — never hidden.

Our values are simple:

Repair before replace.
Building skills, not speed.
Honesty over sales.

With proper oversight, documentation, mentorship, and accountability, our apprentices aren’t being “sent out” — they’re being developed into the kind of tradesmen this community can trust.

As we’ve always said:
“You’re not just a journeyman — you’re a tradesman.”

This is how we raise better technicians.
This is how we rebuild trust.
This is Bring Back the Tradesman.

The Rising Tech Program: A First-of-Its-Kind Approach to HVAC Maintenance

At Patan Heating and Air Ltd., we’ve reimagined what HVAC maintenance can be — turning it into an opportunity for homeowners to save money, strengthen their community, and take part in shaping the future of the trades.

It’s called The Rising Tech Program, and here’s how it works:

Your maintenance visit is completed by one of our Rising Techs — apprentice technicians who have already worked alongside our licensed journeymen on real installations and service calls.

They’re trained, capable, and ready to take the next step in their development.

Every visit is remotely supervised by a Senior Red Seal Journeyman, ensuring the same professional Patan Standard that has guided three generations of our family — built on honesty, precision, and pride in every detail.

Each service is fully documented, reviewed, and recorded in our system.

And because this visit contributes to a supervised training milestone, homeowners receive it at a reduced cost.

But here’s the real difference — you’re not just saving money.
You’re becoming part of a young tradesperson’s journey toward independence and mastery.

When you open your door to a Rising Tech, you’re saying, “I see you. I support your growth. And I believe in the future you’re building.”

That’s what this program is about — not hiding training, but celebrating it.
Not just doing maintenance, but creating momentum.
Because the Patan Standard isn’t just how we do the work —
it’s how we pass it on.

Wildfire Smoke PSA: Keeping Okanagan Air Out of Your Home

Hi everyone, Joel here. I own Patan Heating and Air in Penticton.

With wildfire smoke settling into the valley, here are some straightforward steps to help keep your indoor air cleaner and safer:

-Close windows and doors
Seal the house to keep smoke out.

-Seal gaps and drafts
Use towels, weatherstripping, or even painter’s tape to cut down on infiltration.

-If you have an HRV or ERV
Switch it to recirculate or off. The control is often near your thermostat or right on the unit. If you can’t find it, unplug the unit temporarily—just remember to plug it back in when the air clears since this is your home’s fresh air system.

-If you have a furnace or air handler without an HRV/ERV
Your home likely has primary ventilation—a duct that feeds outdoor air into your return ductwork. When your furnace or A/C runs, it’s pulling outside air in. To cut down on smoke:
‱ Turn your thermostat up a few degrees so the system runs less.
‱ If you know where your fresh air intake is, block it off temporarily (make sure to unblock it later).
‱ Don’t run your fan on “circulate” unless that intake is closed.

-If you have a ductless mini split system
Good news! These don’t pull in outdoor air! Still, check for passive vents or an HRV/ERV and follow the same advice if you have one.

-Older wood fireplaces
Close the damper or temporarily seal the opening to stop smoke from sneaking inside.

-Filtration matters
Smoke is one of the hardest things to catch:
‱ Use a MERV 11 or higher filter during heavy smoke.
‱ Kirkland Signature MERV 13 filters from Costco are great at trapping smoke but are known as “furnace killers” if you don’t change them often.
‱ Once the smoke clears, switch back to a MERV 8—it’s much easier on your system and keeps your A/C running smoothly.

-Air purifiers
Portable HEPA purifiers are a great tool, but they can’t always handle a whole house. If you’ve got littles like me, start with their rooms first. Another good option is creating a sealed “clean room” with a purifier running full-time—it’s a safe, fresh place to retreat to when the smoke is thick.

-Freshen the home and help the air
A simple stovetop potpourri or “simmer pot” can do more than make your home smell nice. Boiling water with citrus, herbs, or spices naturally adds humidity, which can make the air feel cooler and help smoke particles settle faster. Candles, diffusers, and other air fresheners can also make your home feel more comfortable when the smoke is heavy.

-Talk to your local HVAC experts
We’ve got plenty of great companies here in town who can help get your home set up right for wildfire season.

Wildfire smoke is part of life in the Okanagan, but a few simple adjustments can help keep your family safe and your indoor air much cleaner.

Stay safe,
Joel Patan
