dryer vent cleaning

Dryer exhaust vents should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, though the frequency may vary based on household size and dryer usage.

Lint that accumulates in dryer vents is highly flammable, and failure to remove lint is a leading cause of dryer fires. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) reported an average of about 16,000 dryer fires between 2010 through 2014.

Many people overlook the importance of cleaning their dryer vents. Benefits of regular cleaning include saving time, extending the life of your clothing and dryer, improving energy efficiency, reducing allergens, preventing carbon monoxide poisoning, and enhancing fire safety.

Time Saving

If your clothes require multiple cycles to dry, it may indicate that your dryer vent line is clogged and poses a fire hazard. This clogging leads to extended drying time. By hiring our services to remove these blockages, your dryer will operate more efficiently, allowing your clothes to dry in just one cycle. Regular dryer vent cleaning can save you significant time and improve your machine's performance.

Increasing the Life of Your Clothing

Clogged dryer vents cause excessive heat, which can damage your clothes. When the dryer is clogged, it generates more heat than normal, leading to fabric fibers breaking down. This excessive heat, combined with longer drying times, can deteriorate your clothing.

Energy Saving

A clogged dryer vent line results in longer drying times, which can increase your energy bills by up to thirty dollars a month. Blockages restrict airflow, causing the dryer to operate inefficiently and potentially stop working altogether. Even new dryers can be affected by lint blockages, leading to decreased performance and higher energy costs. Regular vent cleaning helps prevent these issues and saves energy.
