Keep Your Exhaust Vents Clear!


Reminder to keep you vents clear of snow and ice during the winter season. The large amounts of snow we can receive can block vents and create a dangerous situation with exhaust fumes backing up into your home. Generally the exhaust will keep itself clear but under certain circumstances such as height of the vent and large amounts of snow over a short period of time they can cause snow to melt and refreeze as ice, completely blocking exhaust and intake pipes. So if you have direct sidewall venting be safe and make sure they are clear.
