When the heat stops or the air conditioner quits in Oakville, 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 Oakville house usually have?

Stoney Creek Heating visits Oakville homes for furnace repair, seasonal maintenance, central air problems and replacement decisions.

What can Stoney Creek Heating help with in Oakville?

When the furnace goes quiet on a cold evening or the central air stops keeping up in July, the first worry is usually how serious it is. Stoney Creek Heating travels to Oakville homes for furnace repair, furnace and AC maintenance, air conditioner repair and the larger decisions around furnace installation and replacement.

What is safe to check before the visit?

A few checks are fine for anyone to do:

  • Make sure the thermostat is set to heat or cool and has working batteries.
  • Pull the furnace filter and see whether it is clogged.
  • Confirm the switch beside the furnace, which looks like a light switch, is on.

Leave the burner compartment, the gas valve and the wiring alone. If you smell gas, go outside and call your gas utility from there before calling anyone else.

How does booking work?

Tell us what the system is doing, when it started and roughly how old the equipment is, using the contact page or the quote form. On arrival the technician confirms the symptom with you, tests the system and explains what was found. You see a written price and approve it before any part is fitted. Work is performed by TSSA-certified gas technicians.

Questions from Oakville homeowners

Does Stoney Creek Heating repair furnaces and central air in Oakville?

Yes. Stoney Creek Heating travels to Oakville for furnace repair, air conditioner repair, seasonal maintenance and replacements. Describe the symptom when you get in touch, such as no heat, a noise or a flashing light, and the technician arrives with a starting idea of the cause. You approve a written price before any part goes in. Start with the furnace repair page or send the details through the contact page.

Can an older Olde Towne house get efficient heating or central air?

Yes, with some planning. Houses along King Street and Lake Avenue were first heated by wood or coal and converted later, so technicians often find odd or undersized ducts, an ageing boiler, or an old oil tank that was never removed. When a high-efficiency furnace vents through the side wall, the old chimney can be left with no appliance, or with a water heater alone, and it needs checking. Where there is no ductwork to spare, a ductless system is often the better fit. Note what is in your basement and read about air conditioning installation.

Why is my furnace blowing cold air instead of heating the house?

Usually the fan is running but the burners are not lighting, or they light and then shut off. Common causes are a thermostat set to fan on rather than auto, a clogged filter that makes the furnace overheat and stop, a dirty flame sensor, or a blocked condensate drain on a high-efficiency furnace. It is safe to check the thermostat setting and replace the filter. If the air is still cold after that, turn the thermostat down and book a furnace repair.
