Furnace and air conditioning service in Smithville

Caledonia Furnace repairs and installs furnaces, central air, ductless systems and heat pumps in Smithville. Tell us what kind of house you have and what the system is doing. The technician arrives knowing where to look first.

What Smithville houses usually have in the basement

Smithville homes can book Caledonia Furnace for furnace repair and replacement, central air, ductless systems, heat pumps and seasonal maintenance. The choice of system depends on the ducts already in the house and how the home is heated now. A technician looks at both, explains the options in plain words and puts the price in writing before anything is installed or repaired.

Furnaces, heat pumps and air conditioning in Smithville

Caledonia Furnace serves Smithville households with heating and cooling repairs, new equipment and seasonal service.

Picking a system starts with the ducts

Central air and ducted heat pumps move a lot of air. If the existing ducts are small or were added to the house later, a large system pushed through them runs loud and cools poorly. In that case a ductless system, with indoor heads on the walls and one outdoor unit, is often the better fit. See air conditioning installation for both options.

Heat pumps as the main heat or as a partner to the furnace

A cold-climate heat pump can heat a house through most of the winter. Paired with a gas or propane furnace, it hands over to the furnace on the coldest days. Rebates change, so the ones available at the time are checked when you get a price. Details are on the heat pumps page.

Questions from Smithville homeowners

Can a Smithville home get air conditioning if the ducts are small?

Often, yes. If the ducts cannot carry enough air for central air, a ductless system avoids them: wall-mounted indoor units connect to one outdoor unit by a small refrigerant line. Some ductless heat pumps also heat. Work is performed by 313A refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics. A technician checks the ducts and the electrical panel before pricing. See air conditioning installation or ask for a quote.

Where do carbon monoxide alarms have to go?

The Ontario Fire Code requires a working carbon monoxide alarm next to each sleeping area in any home with a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. In Caledonia that covers nearly every house with a gas or propane furnace, a gas water heater or a wood stove. Press the test button on each alarm and replace any unit past the date on its label. If an alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call the fire department from there. Once the house is clear, book an appliance check through furnace and AC maintenance.

Is my Caledonia home on natural gas?

Caledonia is in Haldimand County's natural gas franchise area, served by Enbridge Gas, which took over Union Gas. Most houses in town are on the main. Parts of rural Haldimand are not. A proposed Enbridge Gas expansion project for Haldimand – Dunnville shows the network still does not reach everywhere. Homes off the main heat with propane, oil or electricity, and the equipment and venting differ. Check outside: a gas meter means natural gas, a tank or fill pipe means propane or oil. Off the main, read about heat pumps.
