“Very happy with our choice to use QPS for our new AC. Hayden came out to quote; he was very thorough, explained all our options and was transparent with pricing. The guys who did the install were very friendly and respectful of our home. The AC is working great, I’m very happy!”

“My furnace had an issue and Gill and team were very knowledgeable and professional. Everything was done efficiently and had my emergency repair fixed asap .”

“Shortly after my husband and I bought our first home, the hot water tank started to produce less and less hot water until it was practically cold. I had techs from 3 different "big name companies" come in and offer solutions from "It just needs to be reset" to "You need to spend $4500 on a new heater".

Gillanders was recommended by a lovely new acquaintance, and a call was made by us. The tech was out the same day and discovered very quickly that nothing was wrong with the water heater, there was a leak under the house. A temporary fix was given which saved the day and a plumber was recommended for the under the house work.

A huge thank you to Gillanders for their quick service, their ability to see past the obvious "buy a new water heater" suggestions and their willingness to actually look to see what might be causing the issue. A few minutes of out of the box thinking really has made a difference in the life of my husband and myself.

Needless to say, Gillanders will now be the company my family uses here in Chatham. I can't say enough good things!”

Common Causes of Cooling System Failure

Coolant leaks from cracked hoses, water pump seals, or radiator tanks
Failed thermostat stuck closed, preventing coolant flow
Water pump impeller failure reducing coolant circulation
Clogged radiator from internal corrosion or contaminated coolant
Blown head gasket allowing combustion gases into the cooling system
Electric cooling fan failure preventing airflow through the radiator at idle

Signs Your Cooling System Needs Service

Temperature gauge rising into the red zone or overheating warning
Visible coolant puddle (green, orange, or pink fluid) under the vehicle
Sweet antifreeze smell inside or outside the cabin
Heater blowing cold air when the engine is fully warmed up
Coolant reservoir consistently low or empty after recent fill-ups
Steam coming from under the hood while driving or parked

Auto Cooling System Tips

Never open a radiator cap when the engine is hot—pressurized steam can cause severe burns
Flush your coolant every 2 years or 50,000 km to prevent internal corrosion
Use the correct type of coolant specified by your manufacturer—don't mix different colors
Check your coolant level regularly, especially before long trips
A consistently dropping coolant level without visible leaks may indicate a head gasket issue
Replace rubber coolant hoses every 100,000 km as preventative maintenance—they deteriorate from the inside

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a radiator replacement cost in Chatham? +
Radiator replacement for most passenger vehicles costs $500-$1,000 including parts and labor. Trucks and SUVs can cost more due to larger radiators and additional components.
How often should coolant be flushed? +
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 2 to 5 years or 50,000 to 100,000 km. Long-life coolants may have extended intervals—check your owner's manual.
Can I just add water instead of coolant? +
Only in an emergency. Water alone doesn't provide freeze protection in Canadian winters, corrosion inhibitors, or the proper boiling point elevation. Always use the correct coolant mixture.
What should I do if my car overheats while driving? +
Immediately turn off the AC and turn the heater on full blast to help dissipate engine heat. Pull over safely, turn off the engine, and do not open the hood until it cools. Call for a tow to the nearest repair shop.
