Dryer Vent Cleaning
Expert Dryer Vent Cleaning
Getting a dryer vent cleaned to remove clogs is important for two primary reasons: safety and efficiency.
Safety: Most of us do not realize the importance and urgency of a dryer vent cleaning. Many people believe that cleaning the filter in the lint trap after each drying cycle is enough. However, over time, lint builds up in the dryer vent. This buildup creates severe clogs that can completely block the airflow. As a result, the air coming from your dryer struggles to push its way out.
- The fact is that enough flammable lint can bypasses the filter, create a blockage in the vent and cause a fire.
- The National Fire Protection Association reports that failure to remove lint build-up is the primary cause of hundreds of injuries and even deaths.
- The United States Fire Administration says clothes dryers can be blamed for over $100 million dollars in losses every year.
Efficiency: This must be the major reason why most of our customers call us to clean their dryer vent. Actually many of you are surprised when we emphasize the importance and the risk in a clogged dryer vent. .
When your dryer vent is clogged, the air has nowhere to exit in some cases. This creates much higher heat inside your dryer. As a result, the sensor shuts down the dryer heaters to prevent a fire. When the heaters cannot work for the full programmed interval, your dryer cycles through without heat. You may find your clothes still wet after two or three cycles. This issue forces you to run your dryer many more times. Consequently, you end up using a lot more electricity than necessary.
