Heating and cooling in Burlington

Who looks after furnaces and air conditioning in Burlington?

When the heat stops or the air conditioner quits in Burlington, Stoney Creek Heating starts by working out the likely cause in plain words, tells you what is safe to check yourself and gives you a written price before any work begins.

What kind of system does a Burlington house usually have?

Stoney Creek Heating looks after furnaces, central air and heat pumps in Burlington homes. If the heat has stopped or the air conditioner is blowing warm, we start by explaining what the system is likely doing, tell you what is safe to check yourself, and put the price in writing before any part is fitted.

What does Stoney Creek Heating do in Burlington?

In Burlington, most calls begin with one of a few worries: the house is cold, the furnace is making a sound it did not make last week, or the air conditioner runs but the rooms stay warm. We work on gas furnaces, central air conditioners and heat pumps, and we keep the explanation plain so you know what is going on before you decide anything.

What can you safely check while you wait?

Confirm the thermostat is set to heat or cool and has fresh batteries. Pull the filter and hold it to the light; a filter you cannot see through can shut a furnace down on its own. Make sure the service switch near the furnace is on. Beyond that, keep the panels closed, since burners, gas valves and wiring are for a technician.

How do you book a visit in Burlington?

Send the details through the contact page or request a written quote. It helps to tell us the age of the system if you know it, what it is doing, and when it started. We arrange a time, and the price is set out in writing for your approval before work begins.

Questions from Burlington homeowners

My Burlington furnace runs but the house is not warming up. Is it safe to keep it on?

Usually yes, for a short while. A furnace that runs without warming the house often has a clogged filter, a thermostat set to fan only, or a burner that lights and then drops out. Change the filter and check the thermostat first. If you smell gas, or the carbon monoxide alarm sounds, turn the furnace off, leave the house and call the gas utility. Otherwise, book a furnace repair visit and we will explain the cause before quoting.

What does furnace maintenance involve, and how often is it needed?

Once a year, ideally before the heating season. A tune-up covers the burners and flame, the flame sensor and igniter, the inducer and blower motors, the safety switches, the venting and, on high-efficiency furnaces, the condensate drain. It is also the chance to look at the heat exchanger and catch worn parts before a cold night. Many manufacturers ask for yearly service to keep their warranty valid, so keep the paperwork. See what furnace maintenance involves.

What are the three most common types of HVAC systems?

In Stoney Creek houses, the three you see most are a forced-air gas furnace paired with central air conditioning, a heat pump that heats and cools through the same ducts (sometimes as a hybrid with a gas furnace for the coldest days), and ductless mini-split systems that need no ductwork at all. Older homes may also have a hot-water boiler with radiators. Which suits your house depends on its age, its ducts and its fuel. Browse the services to see how each one is handled.
