Bervie Supply - Locally Grown Energy! When Elmer Kuepfer pioneered and founded Bervie Supply back in 2000, he had no idea how much his shop would grow, or how our local energy market would change in such a short time. Elmer’s grandson, Levi, has taken the reigns, and handed the small engine repair division to Israel Albrecht. Levi wishes Israel all the best in his new enterprise, and has turned his focus to the renewable energy and heating sector tailored to meeting customer’s needs. Levi sought out ways to power, heat and light his home and shop at a lower cost, and not only found a way to lower costs – the house and shop are now completely off the grid! Bervie Supply specializes in the sale, service, and installation of generators, solar PV (electricity), solar thermal (hot water heating), and wood and pellet heating equipment. By utilizing the new technologies available in these fields it is possible for you to reduce your heating costs significantly. Levi explains. “We listen to our customers and find out what they need, then offer solutions to help them reach their goals within their budget, and back everything we sell with full installation and service. If you heat with propane, wood pellet heating for the same BTU is equal to 28 cents a litre for propane. Wood chip boiler heating is 10 cents or lower. We offer huge savings compared to oil and electric heat as you can see a 60-80 percent reduction in your heating costs by switching to wood pellets. We carry traditional wood equipment such as wood boilers for indoor or outdoor use in residential or even commercial district heating projects— heating a number of buildings with only one boiler. We also offer wood burning furnaces, pellet and wood stoves, inserts, and even air tight cooking stoves, all of which we install complete with factory built chimneys or pellet venting systems, certified WETT inspections and certificates.
