What Dundas houses tend to need
We come out to Dundas from Smithville for furnace repair and replacement, air conditioning, heat pumps and pre-season tune-ups. If your house has an older furnace venting into a chimney, or a newer one venting through the wall, we check the venting along with everything else, and the price is written down before work starts.
Dundas is part of the area we cover from Smithville, and the jobs there run the full range, from an older furnace that needs a careful look to a newer system that needs nothing more than a seasonal check.
A tune-up before the furnace is needed
The best time to find a worn part is before the first cold week. A maintenance visit covers the burners, the blower, the filter, the flame sensor and the safety controls. On an older furnace that means a close look at the heat exchanger. On a high-efficiency one it includes the condensate drain and the plastic vent pipes outside.
When the heat stops
If the furnace goes quiet, check that the switch beside it is on and the filter is not packed with dust, then tell us what happened. A technician tests the system, explains the fault in plain terms and gives you the repair price in writing. If a repair is not worth the money on an old unit, you hear that too. See furnace repair.
Older chimneys and replacement furnaces
If an older furnace shares a masonry chimney with a gas water heater, replacing the furnace with a side-wall vented model can leave the water heater alone in a flue that is now too big for it. A liner usually fixes that, and it belongs in the plan from the start. Gas appliances in Ontario are installed to the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, which sets out how venting is done. Read more on furnace replacement.

My Dundas house has an old chimney. Does that change a furnace replacement?
It can. A high-efficiency furnace vents through plastic pipe in the side wall, so it no longer uses the chimney. If a gas water heater still vents there, the flue may now be too large for it to draft well, and a liner is often needed. We look at the chimney during the quote and include any relining in the written price. See furnace installation and replacement.
Who is allowed to work on a gas furnace in Ontario?
Under Ontario Regulation 212/01, gas appliances must be installed, serviced and repaired by a registered gas contractor using G1, G2 or G3 gas technicians. The work must meet the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. At Smithville Heating Cooling, work is performed by TSSA-certified gas technicians. Doing it this way also helps keep the manufacturer's warranty valid. Before anyone opens the cabinet, ask to see their gas certificate. Read more on furnace installation and replacement.
Where do carbon monoxide alarms have to go?
The Ontario Fire Code requires a working carbon monoxide alarm next to each sleeping area in a home with a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. That takes in a lot of Smithville, from gas-heated houses on Canborough Street to the new streets south of town. In early November the normal low is 0°C, so furnaces are running steadily by then. Test your alarms before the cold settles in, and replace them by the date on the back. Our guide on side-wall vents, snow and carbon monoxide covers the rest.
