Founded in 2002, we opened our first office in Spruce Grove, Alberta —a small town west of Edmonton. Initially specializing in instrumentation and burner services, Profire quickly became known as combustion experts. Increasing regulatory pressure and code requirements mandated the use of an auto ignition system to light oil and gas production and processing equipment as opposed to the traditional "rag-and-stick" method. Due to our expertise, Profire technicians were often called upon to repair and maintain other companies...
