The recent heavy snowfall and drifting brings one more thing the Dubuque and surrounding areas need to keep an eye on. Home owners with High Efficiency, direct vent furnaces
and water heaters need to check to see that the venting has not been drifted over with snow or blocked.
These systems typically vent through the sill plate of the home, close to ground level through a white PVC piping like in the photo above. Drifting snow has the potential to block these vents, causing your furnace or water heater to not operate.
These systems have sensors that will detect blockage which will shut down the system. Simply go out and check to make sure these vents have adequate clearance. If they are blocked, clear the snow away
from the vents, and you should be good to go. These systems typically vent through the sill plate of the home, close to ground level through a white PVC piping like in the photo above. Drifting snow has the potential to block these vents, causing your furnace or water heater to not operate.
