With advances in cordless technology, electric power equipment is quieter, more efficient and friendlier for the environment. So electric snowblowers are a great option for homeowners and small businesses to clear snow without the need for gasoline, oil and regular maintenance that gas-powered blowers require. Electric snowblowers range from large models designed to clear driveways to power shovels that quickly clear snow from walkways and patios. Electric blowers vs. gas-powered blowers If you have a large area to clear and live in a region with frequent heavy snow, gas-powered engines can’t be surpassed for powerfully throwing even the deepest, wettest snow. Electric snowblowers, though, offer quieter operation, with highly efficient brushless motors.
