Extreme Winter Weather HVAC Tips:
Safety and Performance First

One winter weather scenario that doesn’t occur very often, but is very important, is keeping your exhaust vents and piping clear of snow and ice. Carbon monoxide can build up if it accumulates indoors. There are other issues that might cause your HVAC to quit working or simply underperform, as explained in this edition of Dorrian Heating and Cooling’s Honest HVAC.

Things to look for when we have extreme winter weather conditions:

Whether it’s really cold temperatures or a lot of snow and wind, one big thing is checking your exhaust piping outside. Snow can drift over it, causing your system to shut down, so it’s important to keep it clear. Ice can also build up underneath, so be sure to knock that down.

Inside, the best way to stay comfortable is by covering your windows and doors to help retain heat and keep out the cold.

If your home still isn’t warming up properly, give us a call. We can assess the situation and provide options, whether it’s a repair or a replacement, to get your system running again as quickly as possible.
