Our Story

A Family Business, Locally Owned & Operated. Rooted in Innovation, Care, and Community.

At ServiceXCEL Heating and Cooling, our story isn’t just about heating and cooling – it’s about people, progress, and the relationships we’ve built over the last 25+ years. We’re a locally owned and operated business based in Nanaimo, BC, with deep roots on Vancouver Island. For over two decades, we’ve been helping families and businesses stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and comfortable year-round – while improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality across the region.

Founded by Doug Pope, and now led by Brandon Dallamore, ServiceXCEL is driven by a clear mission: to provide trusted, honest HVAC solutions, delivered by a team that cares. We operate with a strong sense of responsibility to our clients, our environment, and our community—values that are at the core of everything we do. As a trusted HVAC service provider in Nanaimo and across Vancouver Island, we prioritize sustainability, energy efficiency, and customer satisfaction in every project. We see ourselves as more than just service providers – we’re the big brother you can count on for smart advice, fair service, a bit of humour, and dependable follow-through.

Our clients return year after year because they know we bring humanity, clarity, and consistency to every interaction. We’ve grown steadily over the years, expanding our services, certifications, and team – but we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: our people.

Powered by Innovation. Built on Values.

At ServiceXCEL, we don’t just install heating and cooling systems – we custom design them to fit the feel, flow, and future of your space. We work with the best technology in the industry, like Daikin heat pumps, HRVs/ERVs, and Hyper Heat systems, to create highly efficient, tailored solutions that save energy and improve comfort all year round.

We also prioritize discreet design and aesthetics, whether we’re upgrading a character home in Nanaimo or outfitting a modern multi-unit commercial space in Parksville.

We’re proud to operate based on a clear value framework we call BRIDGE:

  • Balance – Supporting work-life harmony for our team and our clients
  • Responsibility – Doing the right thing, always
  • Innovation – Adopting smart, forward-thinking technologies
  • Development – Encouraging personal and professional growth
  • Growth – Expanding our capabilities to better serve the Island
  • Engagement – Building lasting relationships with every project we complete
