DRYER VENT CLEANING

Dryers are recognized as a possible fire hazard. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has states that dryers were responsible for over 20,000 fires in United States during 2008. They have resulted in over 20 deaths and 370 injuries. A fire can happen in the dryer when lint builds up. They can block the air flow, which causes a lot of heat to build up. This can cause fire at any point of time.

​

Safety experts say that your dryer requires more maintenance than your dishwasher. That’s why you need to clean the dryer vent, exhaust duct and all the other places where lint can build up on a regular basis. It is always better to get the assistance of a qualified person for the cleaning process. They will take necessary measures to eliminate the places where lint can accumulate and provide you with a safe home.

 

Money – Dryer vent cleaning can also assist you to save a lot of money. When the exhaust air passage gets narrowed with blocks, your dryer will have to do a lot of hard work in order to dry your clothes. This can consume a lot of electricity. It has been identified that you can save about $25 a month by maintaining your dryer periodically. Moreover, when your dryer works hard for longer time periods, it will wear out faster. This can lead you to occasional repairs that will cost a lot of money. The amount you spend for cleaning can therefore be considered as a great investment done towards the future.
