Emergency Services · Caledon, Ontario24/7 Emergency HVAC Repair in Caledon
24/7 emergency HVAC repair in Caledon is billed at the weekday rate at any hour: a $90–$150 diagnostic credited to the work, most repairs $150–$800, and no overtime, weekend or holiday surcharge. Caledon is the far end of our service area from the Burlington shop, so the first thing you get on (647) 801-1252 is a real arrival window and the checks that may end the emergency without a visit. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, leave the house and call 911 or your gas supplier before you call us.
No heat in Caledon tonight: what to check by fuel type, and what the call costs
Caledon is the longest drive we make. The truck leaves North Service Road in Burlington and comes up the 407 and 410 to Highway 10, or takes the 407 to Highway 50 for Bolton, and on a night when the roads are bad we say so instead of quoting a time we cannot keep. That is why every call starts with triage on the phone. Some no-heat calls end with a thermostat battery, a furnace switch, a clogged filter or a snowed-in vent, and those cost you nothing.
The first check depends on your fuel, and in Caledon the fuel changes road by road. Bolton and the village centres are on Enbridge natural gas, while many rural concessions and estate lots heat with propane, oil or electricity because no gas main runs past them. On propane, lift the dome lid on the tank and read the gauge before anything else: an empty tank means a delivery, and after a run-out your supplier leak-checks the system and relights the appliances before it goes back into service. On an electric furnace, look at every furnace breaker in the panel, because one tripped breaker can leave the blower running with only part of the heat.
A Hydro One outage is the other Caledon emergency, and it is not a furnace fault. A gas or propane furnace needs 120-volt power for its control board, inducer and blower, so it stays off until the power returns, and a house on a private well loses its water pump at the same moment. When the outage is long and the temperature is far below freezing, the pipes become the urgent problem; how to keep pipes from freezing when the furnace fails lists the steps in order. A furnace that stays dead after the lights come back on is a repair call.
When a technician is needed, the visit is an ordinary repair at ordinary prices, set out on the pricing page. The truck carries igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, capacitors and thermocouples for the brands we service, and the price is written down before the work starts, at 2 AM the same as at 2 PM. What we treat as an emergency is listed on the emergency HVAC service page; a furnace that is limping but still heating is better booked as furnace repair in Caledon. Everything else we do locally is on the Caledon service area page, and non-urgent requests can go through the contact form.

Emergency Services in Caledon — FAQs
How long will it take you to reach Caledon in an emergency?
Longer than it takes us to reach Burlington or Oakville, and we will not pretend otherwise. Caledon is the far edge of our service area, reached by the 407 and 410 to Highway 10 or by Highway 50 into Bolton. When you call, we tell you where the truck is and the window we expect on that night's roads, so you can decide with real information.
Does emergency service cost more at night or on a holiday?
No. The diagnostic is $90–$150 at any hour and comes off the invoice if you approve the repair, and most emergency repairs fall between $150 and $800. A larger part, such as a blower motor at $500–$1,500 or a control board at $500–$1,200, is quoted in writing first. There is no overtime, weekend or holiday surcharge on any of it.
My propane furnace quit. Is that a repair or an empty tank?
Check the tank first. Lift the dome lid and read the gauge, which shows percent full; if it is at or near empty, call your propane supplier, because the delivery, the leak check and the relight are theirs to do. If the gauge shows fuel and the furnace still will not light, call us: igniters, flame sensors and pressure switches fail on propane furnaces exactly as they do on natural gas ones.
The power is out and the house is getting cold. Can you do anything?
Not to the furnace: without electricity it cannot run, and nothing in it is broken. Report the outage to Hydro One, close the doors to rooms you are not using, and open the cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls. Do not bring a barbecue, a camp stove or a construction heater indoors, because that is how carbon monoxide poisonings happen. If the furnace does not restart once power is back, call.
What should I do if I smell gas or the CO alarm sounds?
Get everyone outside first. For natural gas, call Enbridge Gas at 1-866-763-5427 from outside the house; for propane, call your supplier's emergency number or 911, and remember that propane is heavier than air and settles in basements. A sounding carbon monoxide alarm with anyone feeling ill is a 911 call. Once the utility or the fire service has made the house safe, we find and repair the appliance fault.
