Furnace & AC Service in Old South, London Ontario

The houses in Old South and Wortley Village

Old South is mostly wartime and just after, with older streets running back further than that, and the architecture is the reason people love it: Gothic Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Edwardian Classical, brickwork and gables and porches that nobody builds any more. Wortley Village at the heart of it took the grand prize for best neighbourhood in Canada in the 2013 Great Places in Canada competition.

The practical reality for me is lot width. These are narrow lots with tight side yards, and that decides more about your installation than the equipment brochure ever will.

What I get called for in Old South and Wortley Village

Where the outdoor unit can actually go

On a narrow lot the side yard may be the only option, and it is also the path to the back garden and it is right under a bedroom window. Clearances are a real constraint here and I would rather solve that on the first visit than after the equipment is on the truck.

Older gas piping and venting

Houses this age have often had appliances added and swapped over decades. When I add anything I check what the whole system can carry rather than assuming what is there is right.

Retrofitted ductwork in old houses

A lot of Old South houses had ducting put in long after they were built, squeezed through whatever route was available. It is worth understanding what you have before you spend money on what connects to it.

Questions I get asked

My side yard is very narrow. Can I still have air conditioning?

Almost always, but placement needs thinking about for clearance and for noise under windows. It is the first thing I look at on an Old South quote.

The house is nearly a hundred years old. Is the gas piping safe?

Usually, but it has often been added to over the years. I check and test the whole run when I work on it rather than assuming.

Can you work around the character of the house?

That is most of the job in this neighbourhood. There is nearly always a tidier route than the obvious one, it just takes a bit longer to work out.
