Hamilton sits about 21 km from Caledonia, and our technicians cover heating and cooling calls across the city.
When the air conditioner stops cooling
Central air that runs but blows warm usually points to a dirty filter, a clogged outdoor coil, a failed capacitor or low refrigerant from a leak. Water around the indoor unit often means a blocked condensate drain. A unit that trips its breaker needs testing before it is switched back on. Work is performed by 313A refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics. More on the air conditioner repair page, and the guide to an air conditioner running but not cooling lists what to check first.
Heating faults in winter
For a furnace that will not light, short cycles or blows cold, start with the filter, the thermostat batteries and the switch on or near the furnace. If those are fine, book a furnace repair.
Heat pumps as an option
A cold-climate heat pump can carry most of the heating and all of the cooling, with a gas furnace as backup in a hybrid setup. Rebate programs change, so the current ones are checked when the system is quoted. See heat pumps.

Learn moreQuestions from Hamilton homeowners
Can a heat pump be added to the gas furnace in my Hamilton home?
Usually, yes. In a hybrid setup the heat pump handles cooling and most of the heating, and the gas furnace takes over in the coldest weather. The ducts and the electrical panel need to suit the new equipment, and the outdoor unit needs a sensible spot. Current rebates are checked when the job is quoted. See heat pumps or request a quote.
What does a furnace repair usually cost?
It depends on the part that failed. A dirty flame sensor or a clogged filter is a small job. An inducer motor, blower motor or control board costs more. A cracked heat exchanger is the most expensive fault, and on an older furnace it usually points to replacement instead. Prices change with the furnace model and parts availability, so a figure without a diagnosis is a guess. Caledonia Furnace writes the repair price down for you to approve first. Note the symptom and the furnace's age, then book a furnace repair.
What should I expect from the heating in an older house near Edinburgh Square?
The houses around Edinburgh Square and Caithness Street are Caledonia's oldest. Most were built for wood or coal and later converted to oil or gas boilers, gravity systems or add-on forced air. Technicians expect worn boilers and radiators, cramped retrofitted ductwork, possible asbestos wrap on old pipes or ducts, and a chimney that needs a liner once the equipment changes. Do not disturb white or grey wrapping on old pipes. Point it out at the visit, then read about furnace installation and replacement.
