Did you wake up to a snow storm and now your furnace isn’t working, and you do not know what to do? If you have a 90% efficiency furnace and above, you may have snow blocking the pipes that allow for an intake and outtake of air. These pipes are typically white PVC, and you will be able to find them on the side of your house.
If you are not sure if you have a 90% efficiency furnace and above, check to see if you have those pipes. If you do, then you have a 90% and above efficiency furnace. If there is snow blocking these pipes, the furnace will not work. Try cleaning out your pipes and see if your furnace starts to work again.
Be careful when shoveling or snow blowing all that snow, that you do not mistakenly block those pipes, and make sure you keep your pipes clear to avoid any problems now or in the future.
If a problem still exists after clearing these pipes contact our service department at 253-872-5665.
