Keep your vents clear – it could save your life
The snow has been in the news a whole lot lately and we’ve talked about preparing for the more arduous aspects of a New England winter. But there are some very important things that should be done after the storm. None more so than clearing snow away from your systems’ vents.
Whether you heat with oil or gas, your system has an exhaust pipe. And many systems have an air-intake pipe. All of these pipes begin or end somewhere outside the building. In older systems the exhaust will often be led up a chimney, significantly reducing the possibility of being blocked by snow or other debris, but in newer houses the pipes typically go through exterior walls and more often than not vent through the sill – the perfect location for snow build up. 🙏Be Safe!
