The distinction i would make, but others may have a strict definition, is that burgees are triangular, house flags are rectangular. (In GB at least)

I seem to remember from my dinghy sailing days, that a burgee was the little counterbalanced flag at the top of the mast used to indicate the wind direction. I was told that a square one was used to indicate you were racing and a triangular one indicated you were just "cruising".
