Heating and cooling in Smithville

Who looks after furnaces and air conditioning in Smithville?

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

Smithville homeowners can book furnace repair, seasonal maintenance, replacements, air conditioning and heat pump service with Stoney Creek Heating. If your home uses propane or oil rather than natural gas, mention it when you book so the right parts come along. Prices are written and approved before work begins.

A furnace rarely fails without warning. Longer run times, a new rattle, a burner that lights and then drops out: these are early signs, and a maintenance visit is often the calmest moment to deal with them.

Why book maintenance before winter?

A furnace and AC maintenance visit gives a technician time to clean the burners and flame sensor, check the safety controls and look over the motors and the venting. Many manufacturers ask for regular servicing to keep their warranty valid, so it is worth keeping the record. Our guide on what furnace maintenance involves goes into more detail.

What else can Stoney Creek Heating do in Smithville?

When something has already gone wrong, furnace repair starts with finding the cause. If the unit is near the end of its life, replacement is sized to the house rather than rushed. Summer calls cover air conditioner repair and new installations, and heat pumps are explained for anyone curious about them.

Work is performed by TSSA-certified gas technicians.

Questions from Smithville homeowners

Does Stoney Creek Heating service propane furnaces in Smithville?

Yes. Propane and natural gas furnaces work in much the same way, though some parts and settings differ. Work is performed by TSSA-certified gas technicians, and both fuels are installed to the same Ontario code. Please say which fuel you use when you book, and if your home heats with oil, mention that too so the visit can be planned properly. You can start with the furnace repair page or the quote form.

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.
