North Perth residents seeking a geothermal upgrade to their homes and businesses now dont have to look  very far, as Bostech Mechanical Ltd. is ready to assist from their new Listowel location. The company recently made the move to Nichol Ave. S. from its former rural Moorefield location on Oct.13. Bostech has now more than doubled their business size to around 11,000 square feet, space that includes more efficient office room and a  showroom for potential customers. We felt Listowel was a good choice, said CEO John Bosman, whose business services many clients in North Perth. It all worked out. Mr. Bosman started the business in 1994, and since that time Bostech Mechanical  has enjoyed a customer base of around 1,700 to 2,000.

While the company did perform  a lot of furnace, central air and  air conditioning work over the years, it has now focused its attention almost exclusively on residential and commercial geothermal outfitting, in conjunction with products provided by Next Energy. The units they provide obtain heat directly from the ground, significantly cutting heating costs and allowing for a more environmentally friendly source of energy. Mr. Bosman explained that his business was having difficulties obtaining a zoning bylaw amendment from the Township of Mapleton when it became apparent that Bostech needed to expand. He said that after purchasing land from North Perth, the process went smoothly from there on and establishing their new location came with ease. We were bulging at the seams over there, explained Mr. Bosman, referring to the former location. We find Listowel very accommodating. Bostech Mechanical Ltd. employs a staff of 12 and was recently nominated for Industry of the Year Under 20 Employees at the North Perth Chamber of Commerce 2007 business awards gala.
