1. Debris in dryer vents is a serious fire hazard. Each year in the U.S., clogged dryer vents are responsible for 24,000 fires and $50 million in damage. To protect your family from the hazards of a fire, dryer vents should be cleaned to remove lint, dust and other debris that accumulates in the vent line. In fact, two of our clients have experienced fires as a result of their clogged dryer vent.
2. Clogged vents restrict the airflow to your dryer. Have you ever noticed that your clothes might take two or more cycles to dry? One reason for this might be that your dryer vent is clogged with lint and other debris. Removing the contaminants will allow the air to circulate and properly dry your clothes in one cycle, saving you money on your energy bills.
3. A clean dryer vent will allow the dryer to run more efficiently. Imagine placing a week’s worth of garbage under the hood of your car. Can you imagine how your car would run? The same is true of your dryer vent. Every time you run your dryer, lint and debris make their way through your dryer and become lodged in your dryer vent. And just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there. In fact, what you can’t see is what should concern you. One of our clients said she purchased three dryers in five years because they would continually fail to run. Once she discovered that cleaning the dryer vent would unclog the airflow of her dryer, her system ran more efficiently.
