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: How can I save money on snow removal?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on snow removal is to sign up for a seasonal contract that guarantees service throughout the entire winter. Most companies charge between <b>$200 and $600</b> for this service, and they&rsquo;ll often give you a break on the price if you extend annually. Of course, savings will depend on your area. If you live in a moderate climate where snowfall may or may not occur, you could pay more than you need during a light snow year. Still, it&rsquo;s usually a safe bet to sign a seasonal contract.</p></div>

Q: Does knocking down icicles help ice dams?

• <div><p>Knocking down icicles won&rsquo;t help prevent ice dams, as the dams form on the bottoms of your roof slopes and not on the gutters themselves. However, removing icicles can reduce the risk of injury if they form over heavily trafficked areas, and it can help prevent permanent damage to your gutters. Just be sure to wear safety equipment and always stay on the ground while knocking them down.</p></div>

Q: What can happen if you don’t remove ice dams?

• <div><p>If not removed, ice dams can damage your gutters, roof, and home&rsquo;s interior. The weight of these heavy ice formations can break gutters and downspouts. Water intrusion can happen underneath ice dams when there&rsquo;s no way for melting snow to drain off the roof, and roof sheathing, walls, ceilings, and attic spaces can suffer water damage.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar melt ice on driveways?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re struggling to find anything else suitable in your cupboards, a vinegar and water ice melt makes for a passable quick fix. Just don&rsquo;t expect it to clear your concrete the way commercial products or rock salt will. Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water and squeegee away the watery slush to prevent more slippery surfaces from forming.</p></div>
