Dryer Vent Cleaning
Why it's important to keep your dryer vent clean.
Improved Energy Efficiency by Reduction in Drying Times
Removing the debris that is restricting the vent allows the dryer to run at top performance, reducing drying times.
Increased Safety
Accumulation of lint in the dryer vent leads to reduced air flow, this restriction causes overheating and in some cases fire. Protect your family by having your vent cleaned annually.
Machines Last Longer
Drying clothes with limited air flow through the vent puts added strain on your dryers’ components, shortening its lifespan.
Increased Clothing Life
When lint and debris clog your dryer vent, it causes your clothes to dry at a higher heat than normal. Over the course of many cycles, this can cause unwanted damage to your clothing.
What are the Signs that your dryer vent should be cleaned?
- Clothes are extremely hot after drying
- Lint is visible within the laundry room and around the outdoor vent
- Dryer and/or dryer door feel hot
- Drying times have increased over time
- If you have plastic or foil accordion style ducts, these should be replaced as they tend to sag and collect lint in the ridges. These are recommended to be rigid metal or corrugated metal flex ducts
