About Shipton's Heating & Cooling Ltd
Shipton's Heating & Cooling has operated from Stoney Creek, one of the communities amalgamated into the City of Hamilton, for more than 20 years, describing itself as "locally owned and operated by the same family since our founding." Its Google page currently averages 4.8 stars across 2,572 reviews, read September 22, 2026, one of the largest review bases in this ranking.
The service list covers air conditioning repair, maintenance, installation, and ductless systems, heating including furnace repair, maintenance, and installation, heat pumps, boilers, and gas fireplaces, water heater repair, tankless installation, and maintenance, and a notably deep water treatment line: filtration, dryer vent cleaning, duct cleaning, humidifiers, and specific branded equipment including Chlor-A-Soft water softeners and Excalibur whole-house and chemical removal filters.
The site doesn't state 24/7 emergency availability, a Better Business Bureau rating, or specific TSSA licence numbers, and no individual owners beyond a reference to a Tom Shipton are named in detail. Financing is available through a dedicated section of the site, though specific terms aren't detailed, and the company references "guarantees" without spelling out exact terms.
Service reaches more than 20 communities beyond Hamilton itself: Ancaster, Brantford, Burlington, Oakville, Waterdown, and others across the Golden Horseshoe.
Shipton's suits a homeowner who wants a long-tenured, family-run company with an unusually deep water treatment and filtration lineup alongside standard HVAC work. It suits less well someone who wants a specific TSSA licence number or 24/7 emergency policy confirmed online first. Ask for the technician's TSSA licence number directly and current warranty terms before booking.
