A safety notice has been issued about Michael James Fader and Fader Industries, a Langley-based installer of furnaces, cooling systems and water heaters.

Technical Safety BC is advising homeowners, businesses, building and strata managers 91Ƶ particularly in the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island, and in the Okanagan 91Ƶ to consult their records to see if they have had gas or electrical work performed by Fader or Fader Industries and contact Technical Safety BC if they have any safety concerns.

91ƵIt is also possible that Mr. Fader has performed work in other areas in BC,91Ƶ the notice said.

91ƵWhile Mr. Fader is not currently authorized to perform regulated gas or electrical work in BC and does not hold a licence to do regulated work in either of these areas, he has conducted installations and repairs without a permit,91Ƶ the notice said.

91ƵSignificant hazards have resulted from some of Mr. Fader91Ƶs work and those risks may have posed serious and sometimes severe safety risks to the public.91Ƶ

Anyone with any information regarding work carried out by Fader or Fader Industries is asked to contact or calling 1-866-566-7233.

On Saturday, March 12, Langley Advance Times reached out to Fader Industries, asking if the business had any comment to make about the advisory.

91ƵYes we have and not true,91Ƶ was the emailed response.

A Fader Facebook page said the company serves Langley, Victoria and Penticton.
