Make sure to clean around your meter regulator and has appliance terminations during these winter events!
TSSA urges residents to keep gas meters and fuel-burning appliance vents clear of snow and ice as parts of Ontario experience the impacts of severe winter storm activity.
When vents are blocked, it can increase the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) building up inside a home. CO is a danger commonly referred to as the “Silent Killer” as you can’t smell it, see it or taste it.
Additionally, a snow-covered gas meter can interfere with its ability to regulate gas pressure, creating other serious safety risks. When snow piles up, check your gas meter and vents. Take Action. Think Safe.
