This month, we’re honoured to feature Specialized Power Solutions, a technical sales agency that’s redefining how power systems are delivered across Western Canada. Led by Herb Yang and Kevin Parlin, the company combines engineering insight with long-standing relationships to bring reliable solutions to industries that depend on power, literally.
We spoke with Herb, Sales Manager and Principal of the agency, to learn more about their approach, the sectors they serve, and how reliable IT support has helped them stay focused on what they do best: delivering solutions that work.
Expertise That Connects Industries
Specialized Power Solutions isn’t your typical sales agency. With a team of engineers, electricians, and technical professionals, they represent manufacturers who don’t have in-house sales teams, bridging the gap between product innovation and real-world application.
From circuit breakers and transformers to switchboards and substations, Specialized Power Solutions works across residential and industrial settings. While residential projects involve simpler setups with lower energy demands, the team thrives on complex environments — where power systems support heavy machinery, nonstop operations, and high-voltage infrastructure.
Pulp mills, mining operations, and chemical plants are prime examples — demanding sites with high energy needs and intricate setups.
“We like to be involved in the power-hungry projects,” Herb shares. “That’s where our expertise really shines.”

Relationships Built on Respect
In a field where trust is everything, Herb and his team have built a reputation for being the first call clients make, not just because they know the products, but because they understand the stakes.
Herb explains. “We want people to feel confident calling us because they know we’ll deliver good service and honest advice.”
That mindset has shaped how Specialized Power Solutions approaches every engagement. It’s not just about closing a sale; it’s about building long-term relationships grounded in technical excellence and reliability.
Sharing Innovation, Not Just Selling It
While the innovation comes from the manufacturers they represent, Herb’s team plays a key role in making sure clients know what’s possible. Through seminars, trade shows, LinkedIn updates, and one-on-one conversations, they help clients discover better solutions for their projects.
“We’re helping people find the right fit for their needs and sometimes that means introducing them to something they didn’t know existed.” Herb says.
It’s a proactive approach that keeps their clients informed, empowered, and ready to tackle complex challenges with confidence.
Protecting Productivity with the Right Tools
Before partnering with TAVANCA, Herb’s team faced the kind of IT frustrations many small businesses know too well and the stress of trying to fix things without the right expertise.
The team often had to troubleshoot issues on their own— searching online, trying different fixes, and losing valuable time. Now, whenever something goes wrong, they simply call TAVANCA and get quick, effective support that keeps operations moving.
From upgraded firewalls to tighter security protocols, the improvements have made a real difference. Whether it’s phishing prevention or system troubleshooting, having reliable support means less downtime and more focus on serving their clients.
“Whenever there’s a problem, we just call TAVANCA. They’re always there and very helpful.”
Strategic Growth Backed by Expertise
As Specialized Power Solutions continues to grow, they’re expanding into Alberta to better serve their clients across Western Canada. With a strong team and trusted partners by their side, they’re ready to take on new challenges.
Their journey is a reminder that expertise, trust, and collaboration are the real power behind every successful business.
