How long does a snowblower run on a full tank?

• <div><p>That depends on the size of your snow blower and how efficiently it uses fuel. Most snow blowers will last between 1 and 2 hours on a full tank of gas. Larger blowers tend to use fuel more quickly and need refilling more often.</p><p>Keep in mind, the average snow blowing project for a home driveway takes around 30 minutes. Large driveways and yards will take around an hour. A full tank of gas should be more than enough for snow removal, although the height of the snowfall will have an effect, too.</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>

Q: Does insurance cover roof damage from snow?

• <div><p>Yes, some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">homeowners insurance policies</a> cover roof damage caused by snow. However, these full or partial payouts can vary depending on the age of your roof and other related factors, like the overall condition it was in before the snowfall. It&rsquo;s best to check with your specific homeowners insurance policy to determine snow damage coverage and exclusions. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

Q: Do Christmas light shingle clips work if I get snow and ice?

• <div><p>Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, which can damage rooftops. But if you&rsquo;re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you&rsquo;ve placed on your roof.</p><p>You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it&rsquo;s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable. </p></div>
