Snow Storm Tips

Written By Kelsey Maher

  • Clear Snow and Ice: Maintain at least 18-24 inches of clearance around all sides of your outdoor condenser unit to allow proper airflow.

  • Keep Vents Clear: Ensure all intake and exhaust pipes for high-efficiency furnaces are not covered by snow or ice to prevent shutdown or hazardous CO backups.

  • Safely Remove Build-up: Gently brush off snow and ice from the unit's exterior, but avoid using sharp tools that could damage coils or fins.

  • Batteries: Make sure you have fresh batteries in all smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.'

*If you are physically unable to clear your unit, please wait until it is safe to do so
