Tinman Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Hey Guys, just a little tip, clear the snow from around the inlet and outlet vents of your furnace and hot water tanks outside. If they become blocked by the snow they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, they all have safeties in place, but stay on the side of caution and keep them clear as well as your meter! Take care guys Denis Edited March 11, 2008 by Tinman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattletrap2 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thanks for the reminder! Of course, I should know this, but totally forgot about the meter. It sits really low and the regulator vent could get blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 My meters buried under 3 feet of snow, is that gonna cause carbon monoxide poisoning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 nope, not the meter, but if it gets water in it and freezes, it could crack, causing a gas leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just a reminder with the snow coming in the ottawa area again to keep those vents and meters clear! Apparently there were a few visits (20 something) to the local hospitals and many calls to the local fire department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
