Bard HVAC Systems for Modular Buildings and Remote Sites in Canada

Reliable Heating and Cooling for Classrooms, Shelters, and Mobile Structures


When you’re working with modular spaces, whether it’s a temporary classroom, remote oilfield trailer, or a telecom hut in the middle of nowhere, you can’t risk HVAC failure.


At Pro-West Refrigeration, we specialize in Bard HVAC systems designed specifically for tough environments and portable structures. Bard’s wall-mount units aren’t just space savers, they’re made for modular setups where durability, quiet performance, and energy efficiency matter.

Why Modular Projects Need a Different Kind of HVAC

Not all HVAC systems are built for mobile or remote use. I’ve heard from more than one contractor who tried retrofitting a traditional split system into a mobile office — only to deal with compressor failure from vibration, clogged coils from ground debris, or frustrated end users who couldn’t sleep due to the noise.


That’s where Bard comes in.


These wall-mounted units are self-contained, elevated off the ground, and require minimal footprint  making them ideal for:



• Portable classrooms (especially across Alberta and Saskatchewan)

• Telecom stations and control rooms

• Construction trailers in remote areas

• Oil and gas sites in harsh climates

• Temporary clinics or emergency response setups

Key Benefits of Bard HVAC in Modular Settings

1. Built-In Reliability

The sealed design means no vulnerable outdoor condenser sitting on the ground. Less risk from debris, dust, and rodents, all real issues on remote job sites.


2. Space-Saving and Secure

Wall-mounted systems keep everything tucked out of the way. That’s a big deal when your building sits on skids or space is tight.


3. Quiet and Efficient

These units are whisper-quiet, perfect for learning environments like modular schools or government offices. Some of our clients mentioned the difference was night and day when compared to noisy rooftop units.


4. Easy Maintenance

Bard systems are designed for simple access and fewer moving parts. If you’re hundreds of kilometers from the nearest city, that matters. Our techs have serviced these units in places where even Wi-Fi is spotty.

    Bard’s geothermal heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient HVAC options available. They use the earth’s natural temperature to heat and cool, which can cut energy bills by up to 70%.
