Q: Is ice dam removal worth it?

• <div><p>Ice dam removal is costly, but it&rsquo;s absolutely worth it. If you leave an ice dam as is and don&rsquo;t take care of it, you&rsquo;re looking at potentially dangerous situations and high-cost repairs&mdash;like roof collapse, leaks, mold problems, gutter damage, and more. Removing ice dams is essential to keeping your home and your family safe in the snowy season.</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>

Q: Can I use hot water to melt my driveway?

• <div><p>You can use hot water to melt ice from your driveway, but there are some serious caveats. Very hot water can quickly melt ice and remove it, which is helpful if you&rsquo;re very short on time and need a solution ASAP. However, it will only work across a small area, after which there&rsquo;s a chance the water will freeze again. The sudden clash of temperatures is dangerous for fragile materials, notably windows and other glass, so you&rsquo;ll want to keep the water away from your car.</p></div>

Q: How much does snow removal cost for businesses?

• <div><p>Costs range from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the property size and service frequency.</p></div>

Q: How do I know what size of snowblower to get?

• <div><p>Snowblowers come in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-snow-blower.htm">three different sizes</a>: first-, second-, and third-stage blowers. Each additional stage is larger with higher intakes, more powerful, and has more gear options.</p><p>A first-stage blower, also called a snow thrower, is usually best for snow 6 to 8 inches or below. Electric snow blowers are usually only available in this size. If you regularly get snow that&rsquo;s well above six inches, consider a second-stage snow blower. If snowstorms dump 2 to 3 feet of snow repeatedly during winter, you need a third-stage snow blower to tackle it.</p></div>
