Furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps in Ancaster

Yes. Grimsby Heating and Cooling installs and repairs central air conditioners, ductless systems and heat pumps in Ancaster, including hybrid systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace. Before quoting a heat pump, the technician measures the heat loss of the house and checks the ducts and electrical panel. Rebate programs change, so they are checked at the time of the quote. See heat pumps or request a price through the quote form.

Sometimes, but rarely without work. Many cottages in Grimsby Beach and houses on Main Street were first heated by wood or coal and converted later. Modern gas equipment sends cooler flue gas up the chimney, which can condense inside an unlined masonry flue, damage mortar and spoil the draft, so a liner is often needed. A condensing furnace vents through the side wall instead and may leave the water heater alone in that chimney. Grimsby Beach's narrow cul-de-sacs also affect delivery. When booking, tell us which appliances share the chimney, and read about furnace installation and replacement.

Lakemount Terrace was built by hand after the war, and houses of that period usually started with oil or coal forced-air furnaces later converted to gas. The original ducts are often undersized and the return air is weak. A furnace cannot heat air it cannot pull back: a restricted return raises the temperature rise across the heat exchanger, trips the high limit and causes short cycling. The technician measures static pressure and temperature rise; adding a return can do more than a bigger furnace. Note which rooms stay cold and which registers blow weakly, then book furnace repair.
