Keep your home safe and save money on your utility bills with clean dryer vents.
Reduced Fire Risk
Most dryer vent fires start with a buildup of lint, which blocks air flow and ignites when it becomes too hot. Reduce the risk of a household fire started by a dirty dryer vent by having our team come out and inspect and clean your vent periodically. This is the best and safest way to keep your family and home safe.
Improve Your Dryer’s Energy Efficiency
Dryer vent cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of your dryer installation. As dryer vents become filled with lint and other debris, drying time increases and can cause the dryer itself to overheat. This increases energy consumption since the dryer has to run longer to dry your clothes and can also cause fires in the dryer or the dryer duct. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports dryer related home fires are on the increase.
Does Your Dryer Vent Need Cleaning?
One of our customers’ most commonly asked questions is what to look for to know if their vent is clogged and in need of cleaning. Here are some of the warning signs to be on the lookout for:
- Clothing that is taking longer than usual to dry – in particular, watch for towels and jeans that require multiple drying cycles.
- Inability to view the lint on the lint screen.
- Clothing that has a musty or moldy smell after drying.
- Clothing that gets very hot after a drying cycle.
- While operating the dryer, it becomes hot to the touch.
- A dryer that stops several times during a normal cycle.
- Clothing that accumulates overflow lint during a regular drying cycle.
