Reminder to stay safe with this weekends expected snow.....If you have a furnace and the exhaust sticks out the side of your home, check to make sure those vents are not blocked with snow.

Winter Heating Message......

High efficiency furnaces use two PVC pipes for venting -- one is a combustion air intake and the other is the combustion air exhaust. These pipes typically vent out the side of your home and not into a chimney like older furnaces. Due to their location, they may become prone to blockages in the winter from snow and ice. If blocked, the furnace may either malfunction and not run or dispense deadly carbon monoxide gases into your living space.

Turn power off to the furnace. Either flip off the circuit breaker or shut the switch off on the side of the furnace cabinet.

Locate your PVC furnace vent pipes. Sometimes this is easier said than done as things can look drastically different outside during a snowstorm or after a large snowfall. Follow the pipes in the basement to the exterior wall, and make some reference notes as to where the pipes are located. Exterior windows and other penetrations may help serve as a clue when locating the vent pipes outside.

Go outside to the location where you believe the pipes come through. Begin to scoop snow out of the way with your shovel. Go slow to prevent both damage to the vent pipes and to ensure snow is not pushed further down into the pipes.

Shovel out an area down to ground level that encompasses several feet around the pipes.

Scoop snow out of each vent pipe with your fingers. Carefully remove the snow a little bit at a time from within the pipe.

Restore power to the furnace. See that it fires up properly. Go outside and place your hand in front of the PVC pipes. If working correctly, you will feel the exhaust pipe expelling air and the intake pipe sucking in air.

Check on the vent pipes throughout the winter -- especially after snowfalls and periods of high winds. Remove snow as necessary to keep the pipes clear.

Stay safe this winter!!!

We received this tip from our gas and electric company today and it is worth sharing.

Do you know how to identify a natural gas leak by using your senses? Smell, sight and sound can all help you identify a natural gas leak.

Here's how:

Smell. A natural gas leak could produce a pungent odor similar to rotten eggs. Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so for your safety, a distinctive sulfur-like odor (similar to rotten eggs) is added so that you'll recognize it quickly.

Sight. You may see a white cloud, mist, fog or bubbles in standing water or blowing dust. You may also see vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason.

Sound. An unusual noise like hissing, whistling or roaring could be a natural gas leak.

If your senses are telling you that you may have a potential natural gas leak, get up, get out and get away! Don't use the phone or touch any switches. These items could cause a spark that might ignite the natural gas. Once you are safely out of your home call your gas and electric company or 911.
