OUR STORY
Founded by Gord Burlie. Carried Forward by Family.
Burban Air Systems was founded in 1980 by Gord Burlie, a tradesman who believed the HVAC industry needed a contractor that actually picked up the phone, showed up on time, and treated every client's building like it mattered.
Gord built the company on a simple promise: exceptional response times, skilled repairs, and genuine care. He didn't chase volume. He built relationships — the kind where property managers call because they trust you, not because you were the lowest bid.
More than four decades later, that founding vision is alive in every call we take, every repair we make, and every building we serve. Burban isn't a franchise or a corporate chain. It's a family business that grew because we did right by the people who trusted us.
"Do the job right, communicate clearly, and the clients will stay."
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our Core Values
These aren't words on a wall. They're how we run every job, every day.
Reliability
We answer the phone. We show up when we say we will. We finish the job.
Loyalty
We build long-term relationships — not transactions. Many clients have been with us 20+ years.
Craftsmanship
Every repair and installation reflects our standards. We don't cut corners.
Straight Talk
Clear pricing, honest assessments, no pressure. If you don't need it, we won't sell it.
