What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 54 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
The Ajax scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter gas conversion on Ajax homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
Best month to schedule gas conversion in Ajax
Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Ajax averages 95cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.
Common questions
Do you offer same-day gas conversion in Ajax?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Ajax for most standard scopes.
Is gas conversion covered by home insurance in Ajax?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
How long does gas conversion take in Ajax?
1 day is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Ajax?
Yes. Condo boards in Ajax typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What warranty do you offer on gas conversion in Ajax?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
How much does gas conversion cost in Ajax?
Most Ajax jobs land between $988 and $1,581. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $2,569. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
