One of the most important appliances in most American homes, is the dryer. However, this needed appliance is one of the most neglected and abused. The more time the dryer is neglected, the greater the risk of potential house fires and other hazards. A clogged dryer vent is one of the leading causes of a house fire. In fact, according to the National Fire Protection Association, clogged dryer vents have caused more than 2,900 fire incidents annually. Additionally, clogged air vents according to Consumer Product Safety Commission reports, along with the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports 320 injuries and 20 fatalities relating to these fires. Professional dryer vent cleaning will make the dryer safer and more efficient.
You Need to Have Your Dryer Vent Cleaned!
The professional dryer vent cleaning and routine inspection will keep your dryer’s performance at high-efficiency levels, help it last to the projected lifespan, and make the use of it safe. Without routine cleaning obstructions will buildup, clog the airflow and create the risk of fire. The dryer vent still requires periodic attention from a professional even if you are diligent about cleaning the lint trap after every use. Because the lint trap can only retain a portion of the lint, the rest will circulate through the dryer vent, accumulating to the ongoing buildup.
Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning
The dryer vent cleaning is a necessity to the maintenance and care for your dryer and not a luxury expense as some may perceive. We at Air Pure Duct Cleaning would like to list the top benefits of professional dryer vent cleaning.
1) Preventative dryer vent maintenance. With more involvement than removing the lint from the trap, dryer vent cleaning uses top-of-the-line, specialized equipment and professional training to expertly remove the buildup of lint and debris. Lint not only easily clogs dryer vents but is highly flammable. The possibility of property damage, injuries, and even fatalities, is high because the dryer is forced to work harder with blockage, causing the appliance to overheat.
2) Money, time, and energy savings. An indication that there is a lint build-up in the dryer vent is when the appliance takes longer than usual to dry your average load. Clogged dryer vents result in needing more cycles to dry a standard load, more energy use, and an increase electric bills going up 20%. Saving money, time, and energy usage is easily done when you schedule dryer vent cleaning once or twice a year.
3) Prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning. For those that own a gas-powered dryer, another concern apart from the risk of house fires, is carbon monoxide poisoning. The air is prevented from escaping outside the home when the clogs of lint buildup form in the dryer vent, causing the air to get pushed back inside you home. Carbon monoxide poisoning can become a real threat with a clogged dryer vent, particularly if you do not have a carbon monoxide detector.
