What Toronto homeowners should know
Fall maintenance reduces the chance that debris, freezing or an aging battery will affect equipment when access is more difficult.
Keep the valve, sump basin and electrical controls accessible rather than storing heavy items over them.
Document maintenance dates and any unusual noise, cycling or debris so changes are easier to recognize.
Municipal information: When a subsidy or permit is relevant, confirm current requirements directly with the City of Toronto. This website is a private contractor resource.
