A dryer is an expensive appliance that we rely on to dry every load of laundry in our home. With each load of laundry your dryer picks up tiny pieces of cloth or better known as lint, which runs through the dryer and into the dryer’s vents. Over time lint builds up inside the vent, reducing air flow and even leading to clogs. Lint can cause a number of problems in your dryer, which is why you will want to make sure to have your dryer vent cleaned every few years. Air Pure Air Duct Cleaning would like to share the benefits of having your dryer vents cleaned.
Clean a Dryer Vent to Prevent a Fire
One very important benefit of having your dryer vent cleaned regularly, is safety. Lint is extremely flammable. There are nearly 3000 house fires that occur throughout the U.S. each year due to dryer lint. When lint is left unchecked, it doesn’t take much to catch the lint on fire. Depending on how much lint you have trapped in the dryer vent, it can cause the entire home to burn down. It is very beneficial to your home to have the lint removed. In so doing, you can prevent a potential house fire.
Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning By Cleaning a Gas Dryer
For those that use a gas fueled dryer, a clogged dryer vent can add another type of hazardous situation–carbon monoxide poisoning. A gas fueled dryer burns natural gas which causes carbon monoxide. This is an odorless, and colorless gas that can lead to illness and death. The carbon monoxide gases should flow through the dryer vent and safely disperse outside the home. However, if the dryer vent becomes clogged, the carbon monoxide gas cannot escape outside and will back up into the home. To prevent exposure to carbon monoxide gas, for those who have a gas dryer, it is very important to maintain a clean dryer vent.
Dryer Cleaning Saves You Money
When the lint builds up inside the dryer vent it reduces air flow which means the dryer retains a lot of moisture and heat. Often when the dryer vent becomes full of lint, you will notice that one drying cycle isn’t enough to fully dry out your laundry. You may need to reset the dryer and do two and even three drying cycles before the laundry is fully dry. Each time you run your dryer it costs you money. A dryer demands a lot of power or fuel to run a single cycle. Doubling or tripling the number of times to dry a single load of laundry will be seen on your power bill. Not only is the dryer costing you more money each time you run a cycle, but you are also wearing down your dryer even faster. You will discover more drying cycles will wear down the dryer leading to expensive repairs or replacement of the appliance. You can extend the life of your dryer simply by having your dryer vents cleaned.
