Emergency Furnace Repair

Winters in North Bay, ON are no laughing matter. For every resident here, the months before the winter is filled with preparations and repairs to make sure that their homes are able to withstand the cold.

One of the most crucial aspects of this is making sure that your furnace is in good working condition. Regrettably, regardless of how well you take care of your furnace, there always will be the danger that something could go wrong and you’ll need emergency furnace repair.

And when that time comes, you need a reputable contractor like Heating and Cooling North Bay to help you out. If you find yourself needing an emergency furnace repair, grab that phone and call (705) 482-0476. We’ve been answering the same call for over two decades, and there’s no reason for us to bail out on you.

Air Conditioning

Our North Bay team is ready to take on any heating and cooling repair requirement in and around the city. One of our premier services is air conditioning repair.

If your central air conditioner has stopped working, it could be for a number of reasons. The most frequent reason for air conditioners to stop working is because of a refrigerant leak. Normally, this can be addressed with a simple repair. However, if the leak is left unaddressed, it could cause major damage to your unit.

Another common reason for air conditioners to break down is because of a faulty compressor. The compressor is in charge of circulating the refrigerant through your AC unit, so if it breaks down, your entire system will shut down.

Fortunately, our technicians are experts at diagnosing and repairing both of these issues. So, if your AC unit has stopped working, give us a call at (705) 482-0476.

Furnace Maintenance

Like all other equipment, your furnace will eventually break down sooner or later. But as someone who hates the thought of having to replace a furnace, you must embrace the concept of regular furnace maintenance.

Heating and Cooling Repair North Bay is in the business of servicing and maintaining furnaces of all types and sizes. We recommend that property owners be proactive about their furnace maintenance and sign up for our service contract.

Under this contract, one of our qualified technicians will come to your property at least once a year to clean and inspect your furnace. They will also perform any small repairs that may be necessary to keep your furnace running smoothly.

Furnace Installation

Installing a furnace is by no means a DIYer’s job. This is a job that is best left to the experts, as there are numerous intricacies that go into the installation process.

One of the most critical aspects of furnace installation is properly sizing the unit. If the furnace is too small, it won’t be able to heat your home properly. Meanwhile, if it’s too big, it will end up costing you a lot more money in energy bills. 

Fortunately, our team of experts at Heating and Cooling North Bay comes with experience in properly sizing and installing furnaces. Be sure to reach out to us – call  (705) 482-0476 – if you need help with furnace installation.

Ventilation Systems

Like most homeowners, you don’t really pay that much attention to your ventilation systems in your North Bay home. But you must know how critical their roles are in keeping your heating and cooling system running without hiccups.

The ventilation system is responsible for getting rid of all the stale and humid air in your home. Without proper ventilation, this air will start to circulate through your AC unit, which will put a strain on the equipment and cause it to break down eventually.

To avoid this problem, we strongly advise that you get your ventilation system checked and cleaned at least once a year. Our team of experts at Heating and Cooling North Bay can help you with this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to do if the furnace stops working?

If your furnace suddenly stops working, the first thing you should do is check the circuit breaker. If it’s flipped, simply turn it back on, and that should do the trick. If that doesn’t work, then give us a call at (705) 482-0476, and we’ll send someone over to take a look and see what’s wrong.

Can I fix my furnace myself?

We do not recommend it. It’s because most furnaces are powered by natural gas, which can be very dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Even if it’s electrically-powered, it’s still best to leave it to the experts as there are a lot of fragile components that can be easily damaged.

How long will a house stay warm without heat?

It all depends on the insulation of your house as well as the outside temperature. If you have good insulation and it’s not too cold outside, then your house can stay warm for a day or two. But if it’s poorly insulated and/or very cold outside, then the heat will dissipate quickly, and your house will become cold in just a few hours. In any case, it’s still best to have a working furnace to avoid any discomfort.

Why is my furnace running but with no heat?

A handful of things could be blamed on why this might be happening. For one, the pilot light is out, the furnace switch is turned off, the thermostat isn’t working properly, or there’s something wrong with the furnace itself.​
Regardless of the issue, you still have to call a technician to have it checked out. It’s not something you should tinker with as you might end up making the problem worse.

Click To AdWhat does a cracked heat exchanger sound like?

A cracked heat exchanger will usually emit a loud noise. It’s because the metal expands and contracts as it heats up and cools down. If there’s a crack, then that noise will be amplified.  Of course, you can’t just go inside the furnace and check for cracks yourself. That’s why it’s always best to call a technician whenever you notice strange noises coming from the furnace.

Where is a reset button on the furnace?

The reset button is usually located near the burner. But it can also be in other parts of the furnace. You will have to look at the make and model of your furnace to know for sure. If you’re having trouble finding it, then the best thing to do is to call a technician.

What usually fails on a furnace?

Furnaces will eventually give in to the wear and tear of daily usage. For the most part, it’s the igniter and the blower motor that will fail first. But other parts can also break down, such as the burners, pilot light, and heat exchanger.

What are the most common furnace problems?

You’re looking at five prevalent furnace issues, all of which can be fixed. These are a malfunctioning thermostat, pilot light issues, a blower that doesn’t work, an overheating furnace, and strange noises coming from the furnace.

How long do furnaces usually last?

The average lifespan of a furnace is 15 to 20 years. But with proper maintenance, you can extend that to 30 years or even more. But as the equipment ages, its efficiency will also decline. Hence, if you notice that your energy bills have been going up even if you haven’t been using the furnace more, then it might be time for a replacement.

How do you know if your furnace blew a fuse?

If your furnace suddenly stops working, then it’s possible that the fuse has blown. To check, look for the fuse box and see if the fuse dedicated to the furnace is burned out. If it is, then you will need to replace it with a new one.
