Two energy businesses in Penticton have announced that in the new year, they will be working together under one umbrella.
Ideal Energy Solutions and RPR Heating and Air Conditioning will be officially merged as RPR Heating and Air Conditioning LTD on Jan, 1, 2022, and expand into the Similkameen.
Plans for the company to retain the ‘fresh look and branding’ of Ideal Energy Solutions.
The companies shared that their clientele of both businesses will continue to experience the same high-quality service, and new areas will begin to benefit from the growth. Customers will have all their scheduled appointments and services will go ahead with the same friendly faces.
“We’ve been wanting to expand outside of the area and the first order of business in this partnership is to open an office in Princeton and serve the wonderful people of the Similkameen. Princeton and the area has been through so much recently and we want to be there to support them,” Terry Olfert, Co-owner of RPR said in a press release.
In celebration of the holidays, they two companies will be working together to give back to the community, hanging out Holiday turkey dinners.
“On Dec. 18 of this year, we’re giving out a total of 200 turkeys and everything you need for a delicious family meal, in both Penticton and Princeton.”Steve Dahl, Co-owner of RPR (previously Ideal) added.
The Penticton giveaway will be at the current Ideal Energy office from 10 a.m. to noon for 100 families in need of great Christmas meal.
“Then we’ll head up to our new office in Princeton Santa-style to hand out turkey dinners for another 100 families in need of a great Christmas meal.”

The new company will be releasing more details in the new year once the merger becomes official.
