Hey all,

I got back from a few days out of town and my hot water wasn’t working.

The ventilation was blocked by over 4 feet of snow that drifted alongside my house completely blocking the exhaust vent.

Make sure to do a walkaround and check your laundry and exhaust vents!

    Yep. This has never happened to me before (now I have a new winter chore to complete)

    It was really easy to miss the issue because we’re tankless so you have to run the tap to get it to heat up sometimes, I thought it was just taking a long time until I heard an ugly noise downstairs.

    The furnace has a larger exhaust snorkel thing, so the house itself was warm.

      Mine uses my hot water as a heat source to heat the house. I need to replace the pipe. It’s too small and frosts over.
