Unqualified Hamilton Contractor Convicted Again for Operating without Proper Certification

Technician pleads guilty, gets $20K fine, 18 months probation and 80 hours community service

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Hamilton, ON, December 17, 2019) – The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) has successfully prosecuted an unlicensed Hamilton gas technician for the second time in five years for installing a natural gas heating appliance without holding a valid TSSA certificate.

In 2016, Mr. Robert Spearing (operating as Robert Calloway and under the company name Jeny's Home Comfort) was hired to install three natural gas water heaters at a commercial property. When the work was not completed and repeated attempts to contact Mr. Spearing failed, the customer alerted TSSA. At that point, it became clear to all parties that Mr. Spearing had not been licensed to work in the province of Ontario as a gasfitter since 2013 – this was the basis for a prior conviction of Mr. Spearing, operating as Blue Flame Inspections Services, in 2014.

After pleading guilty on September 9, 2019, Mr. Spearing was convicted of installing a gas appliance without holding the proper certificate, and then sentenced by the Ontario Court of Justice in Hamilton, with a $20,000 fine, plus the mandatory 25 per cent victim surcharge, in addition to 18 months of probation and 80 hours of community service.
