Electric Snow Blower

Electric Snow Blowers are popular with many people because they do not need to store gasoline, change the oil and many can be hung on the wall while being stored. Allot of people also believe that they are making a contribution to reducing pollution by using electrical snow blowers instead of the more common gasoline powered snow blowers. There are lots of situations were electric snow blowers are quite efficient and are the right solution, while there are many situations that an electric snow blower just won't cut it when it comes to blowing snow.

First of all, using an electric snow blower does not necessarily reduce pollution. One needs to consider the source of the electricity that is being used. Many electrical power plants are powered by either natural gas or coal. Both make significant contributions to polluting the planet even with the latest pollution controls. Electric snow blowers will typically lack the power need to move large amounts of snow. They are great for one or two inches of snow in small driveways, however for deeper snow and larger areas, a gas powered snow blower is usually the way to go..

Electrical Snow Throwers or blowers are usually quite light and consumers can maneuver them and lift them quite easily so they can be hung on the wall for storage. You cannot hang a gas powered snow blower on a wall. Snow that is deeper than a few inches is also tough for an electrical snow blower to handle. Many areas in the country will receive from 4 to 12 inches and more on a regular basis during a single snow storm. If you live in one of these areas, talk to other customers who own an electrical snow blower to find out their reaction to them before you make a purchase.

If you get a lot of ice or wet snow, these electrical snow blowers also will have difficulty with that as well. Another issue to consider is the extension chord. You will need one long enough to cover the area that you need to clear snow from. In addition the longer the chord, the heavier gauge you will need to avoid any significant voltage drop which can damage your electrical snow blower. Talk to an expert at your local dealer to ensure that you are using the right extension chord for your electrical snow blower..
