About Us

About Us

Total Comfort Solution was established in 1997 by motel developer Rod Shaw. His mission was to provide an affordable, efficient, and quiet alternative to the traditional “window shakers” found in most motel and multi-dwelling units. Rod then worked with architects, engineers, utility companies, equipment manufacturers, and others in the HVAC industry to put together a suite of products that addressed the significant disadvantages of traditional PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioning) and VTAC (Vertical Terminal Air Conditioning) equipment. One of the first projects he undertook was awarded as one of the top three energy-efficient buildings in Canada.

The process was slow, as is often the case of a disruptive technology entering a very traditional marketplace. But Rod continued to press forward and currently, there are hundreds of projects across North America using the TCS system. Critical mass is no longer a concern and with over two decades of providing IPS™ (Integrated Piping System), it is exciting to work in such a fast-moving industry. TCS boasts a full line of fancoils and its online catalogue, with dozens of photos, schematics, and other resources, provides its customers with ease of ordering and support.  The company continues to work with industry professionals to provide the latest in technology and equipment to our partners  and their clients.

Why IPS™?

Adopting IPS offers a significant number of benefits, not only to those people and companies associated with building, but also to those who dwell in them.

Below, we offer some visual aids in showing you the general “cost versus comfort” that IPS brings to the table.

Then, we offer you an overview of those who directly benefit from IPS — and that goes beyond the builder, building, and its inhabitants.

Who Benefits?

Consumers

Consumers

IPS™ products reduce noise, energy costs, emissions, and improve comfort and safety in living and work spaces.

Environment

The Environment

These system components are built to last 20 years or more and no compressors (and harmful gasses) are used.

There are huge reductions in CO2 emissions and all products are LEED certified.

Building Owner

Building Owners and Operators

Owners of motels, hotels, retirement homes, apartments and condominiums have seen utility cost reductions of 40-60% providing an ROI of less than two years when compared to through-the-wall or window-mounted units.

Utilities

Utilities

Lowered utility consumption results in lessened infrastructure costs. Demand-side management is a key factor in avoiding blackouts during the hottest and coldest times of the year. IPS™ technology was developed with a major US utility provider to reduce their overall operating and maintenance costs.
