Snow Could Be a Culprit for Furnace that Does not Work!

Lately, there has been quite a bit of snow in this area of Michigan. This, of course, means that you do not want your furnace not to work.  If that unfortunate circumstance occurs, you may want to look to the beautiful snow as the reason for this.

Why? Because if you have a 90% Energy Efficient Furnace or above, you may have snow blocking the pipes used for intake and outtake of air! These pipes are white PVC pipes that could be located on the side of your home. If snow is blocking the air, your furnace will not work. Try cleaning out the pipe and see if your furnace starts working again. If it doesn’t, call FLAME!

When shoveling or snow blowing after a significant snowfall, be sure not to cover the pipes accidentally! Contact FLAME if you have any questions about this or anything else! Enjoy these snowy days.
