Routine Dryer Vent Cleaning Prevents Dryer Fires
Arguably the most important reason to have your dryer vents cleaned is to prevent dryer fires. Clogged or dirty dryer vents are the leading cause of appliance fires in the US. Nearly 2,900 fires per year are caused by dryer vents that were not properly cleaned.
Even More Reasons to Clean Your Dryer Vents
Fire prevention is reason enough to clean your dryer vents, but there are also many other benefits to annual dryer vent maintenance.
Long dry times are usually the reason people request dryer vent cleaning, but a longer-lasting machine and better performance are welcomed side effects.
Long Dry Times
If you’ve noticed that your dryer isn’t drying clothes all the way or it’s taking longer to dry clothes than usual, a clogged dryer vent may be to blame. Without free-flowing air, the dryer cannot do its job properly. Thus, your dryer needs more than one cycle to dry items completely. Cleaning the dryer vent will solve this problem easily.
High Energy Costs
Using multiple cycles to dry your laundry doesn’t just waste time, it wastes energy and money too! A clog in the dryer vent is often the reason for inefficiency, costing as much as $25 extra a month. Routinely cleaning the dryer vent can help reduce this waste.
Pets
One of the main causes of dryer vent blockages is pet hair. Pet hair gets sucked into the dryer vent and tangles with the lint from clothing. This causes large lint balls that easily clog the vent. The more pets, the more hair, the more reason to get a dryer vent cleaning expert out to your home.
