Winter gas safety: Snow and ice are potential hazards you can’t ignore.
Protect Natural Gas Equipment from Snow and Ice
Accumulated snow and ice around your natural gas meter, furnace and water heater vents can cause equipment failures and damage, posing significant safety hazards:
- Ice buildup on meters can block pressure regulators, leading to gas flow issues or leaks.
- Piling snow can block outdoor vents for high-efficiency furnaces and gas water heaters, creating a potential carbon monoxide risk.
- Falling ice can strike exterior gas meters and pipes, causing the release of natural gas and increased risk of fire or explosion.
By regularly clearing these critical areas you can help maintain your natural gas system’s safe and reliable operation throughout the winter, when you depend on it most.
