Our story began over 75 years ago when a Seattle company incorporated a Canadian outlet under the name of Refrigerative Supply Limited. Serving a handful of customers with wholesale Refrigeration and HVAC parts and equipment, the company was purchased by John Frederick "Jack" and Elizabeth Gibbs in February 1949 and has remained a family business ever since.
In those early years, growing a successful business in the HVAC and Refrigeration industry required determination, a "can do" attitude and, most importantly, earning trust from its customers by providing exceptional service time and again. This was true then and, over 75 years later, is still what makes Refrigerative Supply the choice of contractors, technicians, and professionals in the HVAC and refrigeration wholesale industry.
Jack and Elizabeth's two children, Peter and Alison, grew up around the family business and, as teenagers, both worked in various summer jobs for the company.
In the early '80s, Peter Gibbs and Alison Hamilton bought the company from their parents. At the time, with over 30 years in business, a modernization of the company's infrastructure followed with the introduction of its first computer network and inventory system. By 1995, the 50th anniversary year of Refrigerative Supply, its 10th branch opened in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Sadly, after 32 years of leading the company, Peter Gibbs passed away in 2012. Alison Hamilton became president of the company with Linda Gibbs as co-owner.
Refrigerative Supply presently operates 16 branches across Western Canada, providing a broad range of residential and commercial equipment, parts, and tools specific to the HVAC-R trade. With a second distribution center opening in the Prairies and the launch of its eCommerce platform in 2020, the company continues to invest in providing its customers with fast, personable, and reliable service both in-store and online.
