When should I call a company about snow removal?

• <div><p>The best time to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-snow-removal-what-know.htm"> hire a snow removal professional</a> is long before snow falls in your area. Signing up for a seasonal contract not only provides peace of mind that your property will be cleared every time it snows, but it’s also often more affordable to sign a contract than paying for one-off services. If you prefer one-off shoveling services, you should contact your snow removal company the day before a storm is expected to schedule service. You can also call the morning of the snowfall, but this might result in delays.</p></div>

Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

Do you need to clear snow from the roof?

• <div><p>While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/did-storm-damage-your-roof.htm">damage to your roof</a>, which can lead to needing costly repairs. </p><p>Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible. </p></div>

How long do you leave a choke on a snowblower?

• <div><p>When starting the engine, you typically leave the choke on a snowblower in the "choke" or "closed" position. After starting, let the engine run for a few minutes to warm up. Then, gradually open the choke, moving it to the "open" or "run" position, allowing more air into the engine and transitioning to a normal fuel-air mixture. The exact duration varies based on the snowblower model and ambient temperature, but as a general rule, you should open the choke once the engine has stabilized and runs smoothly, typically within a few minutes.</p></div>

Q: Should you let your snow blower warm up?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;in fact, it&rsquo;s an important step in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-start-snowblower.htm">how to start a snow blower</a>. Allowing the engine to idle for a few minutes prior to using a snow blower helps it reach its optimal operating temperature, which gets the fuel running properly, improves its performance, and helps prevent stalling during frigid weather. </p></div>
