Why Have Your Dryer Vent Cleaned?

There’s a hidden danger spot in most homes today. Chances are you don’t look at it or even think about it. It’s the vent from your clothes dryer. Over time, it fills with lint that slips past your dryer’s filter. Overheating results as the lint builds up, and then you’re just a step away from a fire. Sound unlikely?

The key to effective dryer performance is optimal airflow. A properly installed all-metal dryer vent will help ensure this airflow. Skilled technicians from Air Duct Cleaning Specialists, Inc. will check to ensure there is proper airflow to the dryer and that the right equipment is in use.

In addition, numerous financial benefits are derived from annual dryer vent cleaning. Removing the lint allows the dryer to operate more efficiently, reducing energy costs significantly, and drying times are decreased which allows your dryer to last longer as it’s not operating at the higher temperatures that are caused by the lint build-up.

The charge for this service is surprisingly reasonable, and it pays for itself in lower service and utility costs.

Clothes Dryer Fire Facts

Here are some alarming facts from a May 2002 report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission:

• Over 30,000 clothes dryer fires occur each year.
• These dryer fires result in approximately 25 deaths and over 350 injuries and over $100 million in property damage annually.
• The high-limit thermostat may prematurely fail when subjected to high ambient temperatures.

After a significant build up of debris in the dryer vent hose, the dryer overheats and the lint catches fire. Combustibles in the immediate vicinity then help fuel the fire.

Unlike many health and safety issues we are faced with in the home, this safety problem has an easy and economical solution. The best way to prevent the possibility of a dryer fire harming your home and family, is with a thorough dryer inspection by the professionals at Air Duct Cleaning Specialists, Inc.
