Why Clean Your Dryer Vents?
When your dryer vents are not cleaned properly, your system will begin to perform poorly and work harder to do its job. This will mean slower operation, poorly dried clothing, and a potential fire hazard. Additionally, your dryer will wear out sooner from the extra work, while your utility bills will rise by over $250 annually.
Signs that Your Dryer Vents Need Cleaning:
- Clothing loads take longer to dry
- Clothing is very hot and damp at end of load
- The dryer itself feels hotter
- There is no lint collecting on the screen at the end of the load
We've seen cases where the dryer exhaust vent is so clogged that it's almost completely stopping airflow. A lint-clogged dryer can cost you as much as $18-$24 every month in added utility bills!
Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning in California
15,600 Dryer Fires Each Year!
As dryer vents clog with lint over several years, they can create a serious fire safety hazard in your home. 15,600 fires start in dryers each year, leading to 10-20 deaths and 400 injuries annually.
Clean those vents every 1-3 years, and be sure to never run your dryer when sleeping or out of the home.
Homeowners are often amazed at the amount of dryer lint that can collect in a ventilation system over the course of just a few years -- especially in the vents deep within the wall cavity.
A standard cleaning will involve unhooking the machine, cleaning the interior of the dryer to remove trapped lint, and cleaning the flexible duct (the connection between the dryer and vent system). Special tools will also be used to clean the vent duct, checking connections, and other areas.
