❄️ Blizzard Reminder for Homeowners ❄️
With the blizzard we’re experiencing right now, it’s a good time to step outside (when it’s safe) and check the vents on the outside of your home. When heavy snow builds up, it can block important exhaust vents from things like your furnace, water heater, and dryer.
If these vents get buried in snow, dangerous gases like carbon monoxide can be forced back into the home instead of venting outside.
✔️ Make sure all exterior vents are clear of snow and ice
✔️ Check them periodically during heavy snowfall
✔️ Keep a few feet of space open around the vent so it can breathe properly
This simple step can help keep your home safe and your systems running properly during winter storms.
Stay safe, stay warm, and check on your neighbors if you can. ❄️🏡
