About Springwater
Springwater Township wraps around Barrie's north and west sides. Midhurst is the largest community, with Elmvale, Minesing, Anten Mills and Phelpston, and many rural and estate properties in between.
Snowbelt winters
Springwater is in the snowbelt that forms downwind of Georgian Bay, so it often gets more snow than places south of Barrie. Heavy snow can bury the side-wall vent pipes of high-efficiency furnaces and drift across rural driveways. Check your vent pipes after every big storm.
Homes and heating in Springwater
Estate subdivisions in Midhurst and near Snow Valley have larger homes. These often have bigger furnaces, two-stage or variable-speed equipment, zoned systems or two separate furnaces. Elmvale's village core has older homes whose heating may have been updated several times.
Rural properties away from the gas lines often heat with propane or oil, and some have wood or other backup heat.
Common furnace problems in Springwater homes
- Buried vents after lake-effect snow squalls.
- Out of fuel: a propane or oil furnace that stops may simply need a fuel delivery. Check the tank gauge and call your fuel supplier if it's low.
- One cold zone in a zoned system, which can be a thermostat, zone damper or control issue rather than the furnace.
- Cold air from vents: see furnace blowing cold air.
Before you call from Springwater
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm is sounding, leave the home and call 911 from outside first. Otherwise, these details help:
- Your civic number and road, plus directions for long or shared driveways
- A cleared, safe path to the house and furnace
- Your fuel type and, for propane or oil, the tank level
- How many thermostats or zones your home has

Springwater furnace questions
My propane furnace stopped in Springwater. What should I check?
Check the propane tank gauge first. A low tank is a common reason a propane furnace stops, and your fuel supplier handles refills. If you smell gas, leave the home and call 911 from outside. If the tank has fuel and the thermostat, power switch and filter look fine, call us.
Do larger Midhurst homes need anything different?
Larger homes often have zoned systems, two furnaces or variable-speed equipment. When one area is cold and others are fine, the cause may be a zone damper, thermostat or control rather than the whole furnace. Tell us how many thermostats you have and which areas are cold.
