Why Every Home Needs Regular Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer vent cleaning is a must for every homeowner, whether your home was built in 1960 or last year. Here’s why regular cleaning is essential:

1. Prevents Dryer Fires: Clogged vents are a leading cause of residential fires. Older homes often have aging vent systems prone to blockages, while newer homes feature longer, more complex vent layouts that can trap lint.
2. Improves Dryer Efficiency: Blocked vents force dryers to work harder, leading to longer drying times, higher energy bills, and increased wear and tear on appliances.
3. Protects Indoor Air Quality: Moisture, lint, and harmful gases like carbon monoxide can back up into your home when vents are clogged, compromising air quality.
4. Extends the Life of Your Dryer: Clean vents reduce strain on your appliance, helping to avoid breakdowns and costly repairs.
5. Meets Modern Safety Standards: Professional cleaning ensures your venting materials and layouts meet today’s safety guidelines.

Signs you need a cleaning:

• Longer drying times.
• Excess heat in the laundry room.
• Burning smells during dryer use.
• Visible lint around the vent.
