Our founders
Two complementary expertise
“When I help a client, my goal is to find the perfect solution for their situation. I give a lot of importance to finding equipment that is innovative, durable, easy to repair and most importantly, engineered for our climate.”
François Richard, Director of operations
After 30 years in the business, François does not shy away from anything. He takes pride in staying close to his team, his customers and his suppliers. For him, technical excellence is linked to communication, honesty and trust.
François is a Master Electrician, Master Plumber, and certified natural gas professional. He specializes in hydronic heating and has contributed to several large-scale projects, notably in hotels, industrial buildings, multi-family dwellings and retirement homes.
“For me, the secret of pleasure at work is quite simple: never stop innovating. By constantly updating your skills, and always looking to improve, you never get bored. That, in my opinion, is what it means to live your passion.”
