Closing the cottage for winter? Don’t wait for the first hard freeze.

Proper cottage closing means more than shutting off the water. Pipes, toilets, pumps, pressure tanks, outdoor lines, water heaters and other systems can still hold water and cause expensive damage when temperatures drop.

We put together a practical Ontario cottage closing checklist to help you know what needs attention before you lock up for the season. Gravity Plumbing & Heating

If your sump pump is getting older, louder, or working harder than it used to, don’t wait for a flooded basement to find out it was failing.

Here are 7 signs it may be time to replace your sump pump:
1. It’s approaching 10 years old — Age alone does not mean replacement, but older pumps deserve closer attention.
2. It’s making different noises — New humming, grinding, or unusual sounds can point to wear or mechanical problems.
3. It runs far more than it used to — Longer cycles, rapid cycling, or running during dry weather can signal a problem.
4. The water level stays high — If the pump runs but struggles to lower the water, it may not be keeping up.
5. It keeps needing repairs — Repeated service on an aging pump can make replacement the better option.
6. It has already failed once — A previous failure is a reason to look at the pump, float, discharge, power supply, and overall setup.
7. You have no backup — Most sump pumps rely on electricity, so a storm-related power outage can leave your basement unprotected. Gravity Plumbing & Heating

A sump pump does not have a fixed expiry date, but the article notes that around 10 years is a good point to start a replacement conversation, depending on usage, installation, maintenance, and how hard the system works. Gravity Plumbing & Heating

If your furnace keeps turning on, running for a few minutes, shutting off, then starting again, you could be dealing with furnace short cycling. It means the furnace is repeatedly stopping before completing a normal heating cycle. Gravity Plumbing & Heating

Here are 9 common causes:
1. Dirty furnace filter — Restricted airflow can cause the furnace to overheat and shut itself down.
2. Blocked supply or return vents — Closed vents, furniture or rugs can restrict airflow through the system.
3. Thermostat problems — Weak batteries, bad placement, wiring or incorrect settings can trigger improper cycling.
4. Dirty or failing flame sensor — The burners may ignite, then shut off again within seconds.
5. Furnace overheating — A high-limit switch may shut the burners down when temperatures get too high.
6. Ignition or combustion problems — Igniters, burners, pressure switches, gas components or controls can interrupt the heating cycle.
7. Blocked intake or exhaust vents — Snow, ice or debris around exterior furnace vents can cause shutdowns.
8. Blower or airflow problems — A failing blower motor or restricted ductwork can keep heat from moving properly.
9. Oversized furnace — A furnace that produces too much heat for the home can reach the thermostat setting too quickly and cycle repeatedly. Gravity Plumbing & Heating

Some causes are simple to check. Others need a furnace technician to properly diagnose the problem.

If your furnace keeps shutting down before your home reaches temperature, don’t keep ignoring the pattern.

Every fall, Ontario emergency rooms see a spike in carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty furnaces.

Carbon monoxide is a silent, invisible threat that can build up in your home if your heating system is not properly maintained or ventilated. Protecting your family starts with professional oversight. A thorough inspection of your furnace and ventilation system is the most effective way to identify and resolve potential hazards before they become emergencies.

Book a safety inspection with our licensed technicians to ensure your home is secure this season.

Last October, a Peterborough family's 15-year-old furnace failed during the first major cold snap.

They waited two freezing days for another company to show up, only to be left without a solution. When you are facing an emergency, waiting is not an option. This year, they called Gravity Group first. We answered the call, dispatched a team immediately, and completed a full, professional installation without the wait. That is the Gravity Standard in action.

Do not wait until it is too late. Book your installation or service today.
