If a furnace breaks down during the wintertime, this can lead to extreme discomfort in a home. In some parts of the country, if the home falls to lower temperatures, a broken heat source may be the difference between good health and a trip to the hospital.

I’m always anxious when looking into a company to do work for me because so many will take advantage of ones who do not understand the whole process of putting something so costly into a home like a heating system , A/C or whatever the house needs but I am so happy with Gillanders Heating for being patient with me and the work they did was fast and they were very professional, courteous, and came when called. They explained the process with me and I feel comfortable when they come to do a service check on my unit because they are very friendly and polite!! Thank you Gillanders!!

Called and received same day service, that was a surprise, I figured I would have to wait considering its “that time of year.” I was excited to at the prompt service and was given a narrow time if day so I didn’t have to wait at home all day. Dale serviced the system and was a professional. He explained in general terms (so I could understand) what was wrong and what he did to repair. He explained the cost and talked about a maintenance program. Overall a good experience. Thanks

Gillanders Heating was highly recommended to us by a friend and they did not disappoint. Had seasonal checkup and maintenance done on fireplace and furnace. Both technicians, Bill and Vince, were excellent! Very prompt, thorough, and professional. They were happy to answer any questions I had. Explained their final assessment findings. They made helpful recommendations without being pushy. Overall it’s been a great pleasure dealing with the Gillanders Heating team. They will continue to be our choice for all future maintenance and repairs.

I've used Gillanders Heating Ltd. since I built my home back in 1995. They have always did the yearly checkups for our furnace, A/C unit, hot water heater & fireplace. Vince & Bill are the technicians that know our equipment and always do thorough checkups. It is so nice to know that we are being taken care of by such a caring company. They are like family and if we need help they are right on it to make sure everything is running smoothly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs repair or new. Thank you to the Gillanders crew! - Jill Ellis

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you navigate our services with ease.

It’s recommended to change your furnace filter every 1-2 months, depending on the type of filter you have and how often you use your heating system. If you have pets or live in a dusty environment, you may need to change it more frequently. A dirty filter can restrict airflow,

If your furnace won’t turn on, start by checking the thermostat to make sure it’s set to “heat” and the temperature is high enough. If that doesn’t work, check the circuit breaker and furnace switch to make sure they haven’t tripped or been turned off. If those are fine, it could be a problem with the ignition system, thermostat, or blower motor, and you’ll need to call a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the issue.

There are several ways to help your furnace operate more efficiently and save energy. Firstly, make sure your home is properly insulated and sealed to prevent heat from escaping. You can also upgrade to a higher-efficiency furnace model with a higher AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and lubricating components, replacing filters, and checking for leaks can also improve efficiency.

Some furnace noises are normal, like the hum of the blower motor or the whooshing sound of the burners igniting. However, loud or unusual noises, such as banging, rattling, or squeaking, can indicate a problem with the furnace. The cause of these sounds can range from loose or broken parts to dirty burners or blocked air ducts. It’s best to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and diagnose the issue to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

If your furnace is relatively new and has been well-maintained, repairing is usually the most cost-effective option. However, if your furnace is over 15 years old, has frequent breakdowns, or is experiencing major problems like a cracked heat exchanger, it may be more practical and safer to replace it with a new, more efficient model. A reputable HVAC technician can assess your system and recommend the best course of action. Contact us now!
