He warns that its very important for homeowners to make sure both the intake and exhaust pipes are clear from snow and ice and are not clogged. "Usually you're going to have two pipes, one is the intake pipe that's going to pull air from outside to the furnace or boiler and then you're going to have an exhaust pipe which is going to push the carbon monoxide out of the furnace or boiler to the outside of your home. It's very important that you make sure that both of those are cleared," Jackson said. Do not attempt to get onto your own roof. Hire a professional to help clear pipes that are located above attics."If there's no snow on your roof on a day like today where we've had snow and we've got really low temperatures, if that's all melted off, that means that the heat is getting out of the envelope or out of the living space in your home into the attic and it's actually heating up the roof of your house and melting that snow," Jackson said.To help your heating out as it fights against the outside arctic air, Mike recommends changing filters to fresh ones and setting your thermostat at 68 degrees. Cranking it higher will cost you more with every degree and it won't make you any warmer.
