Sarte Heating & Cooling Ltd was established in October 2005. The company provides services such as installations and 24 hour emergency service of air conditioners, furnaces, hot water tanks, boilers, HRV (heat recovery ventilators) and gas lines. In addition they have recently provided duct cleaning services to residential applications. Sammy James Sarte, owner and founder of the company, gained experience while working as an apprentice at Great West Heating then later, as a Journeyman (senior technician) at Superior Heating and Cooling. At the age of 28, Sammy started his home based company in the Maples (north west Winnipeg) with one van. He then later transferred and expanded his company to a more central location 857 Notre Dame Ave. He has since enjoyed providing “Home Comfort Solutions” to his clients and believed this was the start of a long term career.
Sammy has gained the trust and loyalty of many of his clients. With now eight employees and a fleet of six service vehicles, the loyalty of his ethnic community contributed and still contributes to the growth of Sarte Heating and Cooling. Seventy-five percent of his clientele are Filipinos and has been grateful for their patronage. In efforts to give back to his community, he continues to support several associations and charities. He strives to be active in his community such as joining the Manitoba Filipino Business Council. Jon Reyes, President of MFBC and owner of The UPS Store Kenaston invited Sammy to join him on this endeavour. Since then he has met many esteemed and distinguished Canadians, whom play prominent roles not only in the business world but also in our community. Sarte Heating & Cooling has been a proud member of the Manitoba Filipino Business Council (MFBC) since September 2010.
As a member of the MFBC he has absorbed information given by guest speakers and has incorporated the helpful information towards his business. Sammy interacts with fellow MFBC members like Larry Vickar (The Vickar Group) and Randy Viray (Viray Financial Services) who have years of business experience to discuss and help with the challenges of running a local business. Maximo Paredes Sarte his father, now in the Philippines, has also been in business here in Winnipeg since the 1980’s. He has given Sammy a platform of business knowledge. Maximo has shared three pieces of advice that are always in the forefront of Sammy’s business practice today: “Start a business where customers look for you not you look for them”; and “Treat your customers they way you would like to be treated.”
