The Maryhill-based contractor is recognized in the 2026 Readers' Choice Awards while continuing its work in geothermal systems, heat pumps and energy-efficient mechanical solutions.
Waterloo, Ontario Oct 22, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - WEP Mechanical, a division of Waterloo Energy Products Inc., has received the Diamond Award for Best HVAC Services in the 2026 Waterloo Readers' Choice Awards.
The recognition provides an opportunity for the company to thank its customers and the Waterloo community for their support. It also highlights the range of heating, cooling and mechanical services WEP Mechanical provides throughout Waterloo Region and other parts of Southern Ontario.
Based in Maryhill, WEP Mechanical is an HVAC and renewable energy contractor specializing in mechanical design-build projects, installation, maintenance and service for residential, commercial and industrial customers.
HVAC and Renewable Energy Solutions
WEP Mechanical works on projects involving conventional heating and cooling equipment as well as technologies designed to improve building energy performance.
Its services include geothermal heating and cooling systems, air-source heat pumps, high-efficiency boilers, in-floor heating, ventilation, ductwork and mechanical system design.
The company also provides energy modelling, monitoring and feasibility studies to support decisions about mechanical systems and building performance.
Geothermal systems and heat pumps are an important part of the company's work. These technologies offer property owners alternatives to conventional heating and cooling arrangements, depending on building requirements, site conditions and project objectives.
For residential customers, projects may involve upgrading existing equipment, planning systems for new homes or improving heating and cooling performance.
Commercial and industrial projects can require more extensive mechanical design, equipment coordination and consideration of building operations.
WEP Mechanical works with property owners, architects, engineers and general contractors to develop and install systems suited to individual project requirements.
Recognition from the Waterloo Community
The Readers' Choice Awards recognize businesses and service providers across a variety of local categories.
WEP Mechanical's Diamond Award in Best HVAC Services acknowledges its participation in Waterloo's business community and the support it received through the awards program.
Jason Grieb, RSE, Partner at WEP Mechanical, expressed appreciation for the recognition.
"We appreciate the support of our customers and the Waterloo community. Our team works on everything from residential heating and cooling to complex mechanical and renewable energy projects, and we value the relationships we've built along the way. We're grateful to receive this recognition," said Grieb.
The company views the award as an opportunity to recognize its employees and the customers who rely on its services.
Mechanical Design-Build and Ongoing Service
WEP Mechanical provides design-build services for new construction and retrofit projects, including large residential properties and commercial and industrial facilities.
Its work involves coordinating mechanical design, equipment selection and installation with the practical requirements of each project.
The company also provides customized maintenance programs and 24-hour emergency service to support customers with existing mechanical equipment.
Alongside installation and repair work, WEP Mechanical offers monitoring and energy-related services intended to help customers understand system performance and manage operating requirements.
The company's Maryhill headquarters, known as the Sustainable Living Centre, includes a public showroom featuring examples of heating, cooling and energy-related technologies.
These include heat pumps, high-efficiency boilers, in-floor heating, ventilation equipment and energy monitoring systems.
Refreshed Branding, Established Operations
The company has recently introduced an updated WEP Mechanical logo as part of a visual branding refresh.
According to its customer announcement, the update does not change the company's products, services, pricing or customer support.
The same team continues to serve customers, with the refreshed logo gradually appearing across company communications, vehicles, signage and its website.
Continuing to Serve Waterloo Region
WEP Mechanical operates from Maryhill and serves customers across Waterloo Region, the Greater Toronto Area and other communities within its Southern Ontario service territory.
The 2026 Waterloo Readers' Choice Diamond Award provides an opportunity to acknowledge community support as the company continues delivering HVAC, geothermal and mechanical services.

Osaka, the third largest city in Japan, lacks the charm of Tokyo or the historic appeal of nearby Kyoto. Home to Kansai International Airport, Osaka is often a jumping-off point for more popular nearby destinations such as Kyoto, Nara and Kanazawa, all a short train ride away. While Osaka is not the typical tourist town with must-visit attractions like temples, shrines and museums, it’s still a great place to hang out and spend a couple of days to enjoy local specialities such as okonomiyaki and...

Global tourism is entering a new era of strategic choices. The industry is still generating economic growth, but geopolitical instability, climate pressures, investment challenges and technological disruption are testing its long-term competitiveness. The numbers reveal a paradox. According to the World Economic Forum’s Travel & Tourism Development Index 2026, 92% of the 110 economies assessed have improved their conditions for tourism development since 2024. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) forecasts a US$12 trillion contribution to the global economy in 2026, supporting around 376 million jobs.
“I think about quitting all the time,” says Jordan Leung, known to his Instagram followers as @69ranch. As one of Hong Kong’s most prominent stand-up comedians to emerge in recent years, Leung’s pessimism is surprising. “I don’t wanna make social media content,” the 33-year-old admits. “Now I’m just fixated on likes and stuff … I don’t know how much longer I can do this.” Sitting directly across the table from him, it is not always easy to tell when Leung is being sincere or performing his...
