Why Is Dryer Vent Cleaning So Important?

Many wonder, “why is dryer vent cleaning so important”? One of the main reasons is to save energy, thus reducing your energy bill. Another reason is for safety. If there is too much lint or debris blocking the vents, this could be a huge hazard. Not only could this start a fire, but it will also cause your clothes not to dry properly. Always be sure that after every load you are clearing out any lint and keeping the dryer vents clean of any debris. This will not only extend the longevity of your dryer unit, but will ensure that your home is much safer.

Signs of issues with your dryer vent

• Clothes not drying properly and feeling unusually hot

• Time to dry clothes is much longer than normal
• Dryer duct hood won’t open properly

If you experience any of these issues, you will want to clean out or get your dryer vent looked at immediately. A professional technician will be able to assess your appliance and let you know if the issue is due to your dryer vent not being clean, or if there’s another reason.

Keep your family safe
