At Waywest Mechanical's Wellington Road operation in Nanaimo, the photos show the sheet metal and welding shop, pipe threading, drain cleaning equipment loaded on service trucks, the Waywest service fleet, and the team. They also show a finished suite with a ductless mini-split heat pump serving the kitchen and living space, a PEX manifold, and a renovated bathroom with a glass walk-in shower, vanity and toilet.

Shop, crew and finished work
The shop
Waywest's sheet metal and fabrication shop is where custom duct fittings are cut and formed on the brake, and where welders build brackets, supports and pipe assemblies. Pipe is cut and threaded in the yard, and drain cleaning machines are loaded onto service trucks before crews head out across the Island.
The finished suite
The renovated suite shows several Waywest trades in one space: a ductless mini-split heat pump high on the wall above an open kitchen, a Waywest technician servicing the indoor unit, a wall-mounted PEX manifold, and a new bathroom with a frameless glass walk-in shower, black fixtures, a floating vanity and a modern toilet.
This one is ours. 4434 Wellington Rd. is Waywest's own office and shop, fully renovated by our own crews when the company moved in — the plumbing, heating, ductless heat pump and bathroom shown here were all installed in-house.
One company, several trades
This is what "full-service mechanical contractor" looks like in practice: heating, plumbing, fixtures and fabrication handled by the same crew, from the same shop, instead of four companies coordinating around each other.

Waywest's office, sheet metal and fabrication shop, and service fleet operate from 4434 Wellington Rd., Nanaimo, BC V9T 2H3.
Can a ductless heat pump heat and cool a suite?
