ABOUT US

Trecan Combustion Ltd. is a locally owned company based in Hubley Nova Scotia. For over 35 years, we have been designing and manufacturing Snowmelters. We export our product around the world to airports, cities, snow contractors and other customers.

Trecan's technical history is steeped in combustion technology and thermal efficiency. Our Snowmelters are the most energy efficient available, due to our submerged combustion system. This method transfers heat energy from the combustion process to water and snow in the melting tank through direct contact.
