What kind of system does a Hamilton house usually have?
Stoney Creek Heating looks after furnaces, central air and heat pumps for Hamilton homeowners. Whether the heat has stopped, a noise has started or the system is simply due for a check, a technician explains the cause in plain words and writes down the price before any part is fitted.
Where do you start when the heat stops?
Start with the simple things, because they are safe and they are sometimes the whole answer. Make sure the thermostat is calling for heat and has working batteries. Confirm the switch beside the furnace is on, and look at the filter. If the furnace has plastic vent pipes outside, see that nothing is blocking them.
Leave the rest to a technician. Panels inside the furnace cover the burners and gas controls, and repeated resets can hide a fault that needs attention.

Is it safe to keep resetting my furnace in Hamilton if it keeps shutting off?
One reset is reasonable: switch the furnace off, wait a moment and switch it back on. If it shuts down again, stop there. A furnace that repeatedly locks out is usually reacting to something its safety controls have detected, such as a blocked vent, a dirty flame sensor or a failing part. Resetting it over and over does not fix the cause. Our guide on why a furnace won't turn on explains what is safe to try.
Why is my water heater rented, and is buying it out worth it?
So many Ontario homes have a rented tank because the large water heater rental businesses began as rental divisions of the old natural gas utilities, and those rentals simply carried on with the house. Canada's Competition Bureau has noted that buying a water heater outright can lead to substantial savings over time compared with renting one. Whether a buyout suits you depends on the tank's age and the terms of your agreement. Find your rental contract and the date on the tank's label, then contact us to talk it through.
What does it usually cost to fix a furnace?
It depends mostly on which part has failed. A dirty flame sensor or a worn igniter is a small repair; an inducer motor or a control board is a larger one; a heat exchanger is the most serious. How easy the furnace is to reach matters too. That is why the price is written down and approved by you before any part is fitted, so you decide with the number in front of you. Note what the furnace is doing and when it started, then request a quote.
