About TEKARRA LTD.

Alberta roots, locally minded, driven by excellence.

Our Story

What would eventually become Tekarra Ltd. was originally a small business that began with humble roots in 1992 in the Town of Hinton, Alberta. With opportunities in fire safety and suppression abound and a chance to bring a greater level of specialization and expertise to the area, the Aircon Group of Companies acquired the small business and renamed it Tekarra in 2022.

As an Alberta-based company with over 30 years of industry experience, Tekarra is a leader in fire safety across western Canada. With a knack for anticipating client's needs and providing educational support in fire safety, Tekarra epitomizes the idea of “service with integrity.” Providing personalized service remains at the heart of our growing company, which sees local community involvement as foundational to all business operations.

Spreading excellence in fire safety standards gives Tekarra a growth-focused mindset, but our approach to going above and beyond for our clients and community is always a priority. Whether it’s sharing knowledge, providing proactive support, or giving back, Tekarra is defined by our team of experts, trusted partnerships, and commitment to the communities where we operate.
