Heating Services

Winter in Pickering often brings sharp temperature swings and damp cold, which can put extra stress on home heating systems. Many homeowners experience uneven heating between floors, furnaces running constantly, or sudden breakdowns during cold snaps when equipment is working overtime. We help Pickering prevent these issues through thorough furnace maintenance and high efficiency heating system upgrades to increase comfort and lower energy costs. When problems do arise, count on us to provide fast diagnostic service and quality repairs to help restore heat quickly and keep Pickering homes protected through the harshest winter conditions.

Cooling Services

Summers in Pickering are hot and humid. Humidity forces air conditioners to work longer cycles to keep homes comfortable. If the AC is undersized or aging, this often leads to poor cooling performance, excess indoor moisture, and rising hydro bills as the aging system struggles to keep up. Our team addresses these challenges by optimizing AC performance, improving ventilation and airflow, and installing properly sized cooling systems that handle both temperature and humidity effectively. With fast AC repairs, preventative maintenance and modern energy-efficient AC installations, McKeever Heating and Air Conditioning helps Pickering homeowners stay cool, comfortable, and in control of operating costs throughout the peak cooling season. Cooling systems we service include:

“Air from my AC was not getting into the house. McKeever HVAC did a thorough job to diagnose and fix the problem. What I was most impressed about is their professionalism and diligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Furnaces should be professionally serviced once per year, ideally before winter begins. Annual maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during cold weather, improves efficiency, and extends equipment lifespan. Regular servicing also allows small issues to be corrected before they turn into costly repairs.

  • Uneven temperatures are often caused by airflow imbalances, duct design issues, or aging HVAC equipment struggling to keep up with the home’s layout. A professional assessment can identify airflow restrictions or system sizing problems and restore consistent comfort throughout the home.

  • If you have an old R-22 air conditioner, you want to keep that unit alive for as long as possible. R-22 refrigerant absorbs moisture and heat muuch better than any other refreigerants in newer air conditioner models today. If your R-22 air conditioner isn’t leaking gas, and the compressor still runs, repair it as much as is reasonable before replacing it. It contains the best gas on the market.

    However, if your unit is over 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, needs to be “topped up” every year, or struggles during hot summer days, replacement may be more cost-effective long term. New high-efficiency systems provide improved comfort, lower energy costs, and quieter operation compared to older units.

  • Yes. Heating and cooling problems can happen at any time, especially during extreme weather. Our 24/7 emergency service in Pickering acts quickly to restore comfort and prevent secondary issues such as frozen pipes in winter or unsafe indoor temperatures during heat waves.

  • Our diagnostic fee is $150.00+HST.

    If the problem is more involved or takes extra labour time to figure out (Ex: gas leak, 24V short, multiple units, ect.), an hourly rate of $120/hr+HST is applied after the first hour of diagnosis.

    Repairs are quoted after diagnosis and start at a minimum of $50.00+HST.

    After-hours emergency rates are higher than normal operating hours. See our service page for details.

  • When left unmaintained, most traditional tank-style water heaters only last between 8–12 years, so age is often the first factor to consider. If you’re noticing inconsistent hot water, rust-coloured water, gurgling noises coming from the tank, visible corrosion, or small leaks around the base, these are strong indicators the unit is nearing the end of its lifespan. Rising energy bills or frequent repairs can also signal declining efficiency. Replacing an aging water heater before it fails completely is then the best solution. Installing a new water heater should come with an expansion tank, to absorb pressure spikes, and annual maintenance. This vastly extends the lifespan of your water heater, prevents water damage, improves energy efficiency, and ensures your home continues to have reliable hot water.
