if you would like to be our guest at a meeting. Homeowners should be mindful of their furnace vents. During heavy snow, the exhaust vents can become blocked and clogged with snow, leading to carbon monoxide backing up into the house. While your exhaust vents do put out very warm air (somewhere around 120 degrees for high efficiency furnaces) and tends to melt any snow, it is still recommended that you remove snow from that area. With the high winds and drifting snow, it would take very little for a large drift to form and clog the exhaust. If you have a carbon monoxide detector, take the time to test it. If you do not own a carbon monoxide detector, you may wish to purchase one in the future. These devices can save lives in the event of furnace malfunction. |
