Ottawa's harsh winters are brutal on garage door springs. Here's why springs fail faster in our climate:
When temperatures drop to -20°C to -30°C, steel springs contract and become brittle, increasing stress on the coils. Each freeze-thaw cycle weakens the metal's molecular structure.
In winter, most Ottawa homeowners use their garage door 2-3 times MORE than in summer because no one wants to be outside. More usage = faster spring fatigue.
Snow and ice can add 50-100 lbs of extra weight. Springs work harder, causing premature wear. Moisture also accelerates rust formation.
📊 Ottawa Statistics: We see 40% more spring failures in January-February compared to summer. Springs in Ottawa typically last 5-7 years vs. 10-12 years in milder climates.
For torsion spring repair in Ottawa, we usually recommend replacing both springs even if only one has broken. Torsion springs work in pairs and age together; if one has failed, the other is likely close behind. Replacing both avoids a second service call within months and keeps your door balanced. Extension springs can sometimes be replaced individually, but our technicians will advise based on the condition of the other spring and cables. We serve Kanata, Barrhaven, Nepean, Orleans, Stittsville, Gloucester, Manotick, Greely, Carp, and all Ottawa neighbourhoods with same-day or next-day appointments. Written quotes are provided before any work begins, and all labour and parts are covered by our 1-year warranty. For a broken spring, don't use the door—call 343-777-8893 for safe, professional repair.
