One operator. Aviation precision.

Hi, I'm John — I run JANTECH Mobile Services out of Vernon, BC.

Trained to aviation tolerances over 31 years — I spent that career as a Transport Canada M1/M2 licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, type-endorsed on the Boeing 737-200 through 900, Bombardier Dash-8, Raytheon B200, and Fokker F27, among others. The same diagnostic discipline aviation requires is what I bring to your location. In that career I held positions as Lead Base AME and Base Supervisor at carriers including Air North, Summit Air, and during Air Transat and Sunwing 737 NG operations out of Kelowna. I also served a contract as an instructor teaching UAE government students turbine engine theory at Nova Scotia Community College.

In aviation, there's no such thing as “close enough.” Every procedure is documented, every measurement is verified, and every system is signed off to a standard that doesn't bend. That culture stays with you.

I started JANTECH because I kept seeing the same problem: vehicles leaving shops with freshly replaced A/C compressors that were going to fail again in a year or two. Not because the mechanic used bad parts — but because nobody properly evacuated the system after opening it. Moisture gets in. Moisture turns oil acidic. Acid destroys compressors from the inside. It's a slow, invisible failure that the customer doesn't see coming until they're already writing another cheque.

The proper final step — nitrogen pressure test, deep vacuum evacuation measured in microns, vacuum decay hold test, refrigerant charged by weight — isn't complicated. It just requires the right equipment and the discipline to do it the same way every single time. Most general shops don't own a micron gauge and don't run a nitrogen pressure check before charging. I do both on every job.

I service cars, trucks, RVs, ATVs, equipment, and pleasure craft — anything with an A/C or refrigerant system. I come to you — home, shop, farm, or remote site — and I'm generator-equipped for locations without power.

If you've just had A/C work done, or you're trying to figure out why your system isn't right, give me a call. I'll tell you straight what you're looking at.
