Not a big fan of Wintertide ever since I became a homeowner. When I lived in an apartment, Wintertide was just another season to me. I bought a house in the fall, plus I did not expect to have so multiple problems with ice plus my furnace system. That was not something I was expecting as a new homeowner. What happens is every Wintertide it will rain at some point, plus then it will be so freezing it will freeze into ice. The ice will then either split or melt enough to fall inside of the heating systems. I am upset that a ton of ice is going to ruin my heating device, plus that is the last thing that I need in the middle of winter. So I have been searching for some solutions online. It seems that I am not the only one with this issue, as there were a lot of other people talking about the same issue. One person advised Heating and Air Conditioning covers. The a/c covers can prevent ice plus snow from getting inside the heating device which is exactly what I wanted. However, you have to be careful with what kind of Heating and Air Conditioning cover you get. Some types can truly suffocate the furnace plus cause it to break. The heating device still needs plenty of ventilation, however the issue with that is that ones with ventilation usually have holes in them, plus those holes are enough to let snow in. So I am back at square one. I haven’t found a solution yet, however I am still looking.
