Dryer Vent Cleaning
CLOTHES DRYER EFFICIENCY
A swept dryer vent prevents heat, moisture, and in the case of gas clothes dryers, carbon monoxide from being trapped in your home. When this type of spillage occurs, the dryer is working extra hard and runs longer than necessary.
Moisture can also cause damage to drywall, wallpaper, ceilings and other building materials.
WEAR AND TEAR ON YOUR DRYER
If your dryer is taking twice as long to dry clothes as it should, the number of loads that it will dry is cut in half. When the dryer runs at higher than designed temperatures, the life of the dryer decreases. This can lead to the heating element burning out or a fire could ignite as a result of the overworked safety controls.
Protect Your Home
When was the last time you had your dryer vent cleaned?
Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct causing your dryer to work overtime, creating potentially hazardous conditions including dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home or even a fire.
The following tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) can help you keep your dryer venting efficiently while keeping your family safe:
-
Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional.
-
Do NOT use the dryer without a lint filter.
-
Clean the lint filter before and after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum.
-
Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time.
-
Ensure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating.
-
Have your dryer cleaned annually.
-
Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to ensure the gas line and connection are intact and leak free.
-
Ensure the right plug and outlet are used and that the dryer is connected properly.
-
Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and do not overload the dryer.
