Reap the Benefits of a Gas Snow Blower

A gas snow blower is snow removal equipment that runs on a gasoline engine. Compared to other snow blowers, gas models have some distinctive benefits, including:

• Maneuverability: Because they're free of cords, gas-powered snow blowers are easy to steer and won't require you to run cords to an electrical outlet.
• No recharging: Gas snow blowers can run until their tanks are empty and then be refilled quickly as needed. There's no need to wait for a battery to charge, so you can clear snow from a large area—just remember to keep a full gas can handy for longer jobs.
• Versatility: Gasoline models can remove snow from both paved and gravel surfaces.
• Increased power: With their gasoline-powered engines, they offer powerful performance to remove heavy snow smoothly and more easily than other models.
• Effectiveness clearing: Gas models can typically clear up to two feet of snow, nearly twice as much as electric alternatives.

Although they require regular maintenance like engine oil changes and spark plug replacements, gas snow blowers can last for years to come when cared for and stored properly.

Single-Stage Vs. Two-Stage Gas Snow Blowers

One of the biggest decisions you'll need to make when shopping for a gas snow blower is whether you prefer a single-stage or two-stage model. Single-stage gas snow blowers use an auger to scoop up and throw snow in one clearing movement, or a “single stage”. They are economical and popular for light residential use. Generally, single-stage models are best for paved surfaces.

The auger on a two-stage gas snow blower takes in snow, churns it and sends it to an impeller in the back that then blows the snow further away than a single-stage model. They are ideal in areas with heavy snow accumulation, clearing heavier, wetter snow with greater ease. What’s more, 2-stage models are the go-to choice for unpaved surfaces.
