Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
The costs of dryer vent cleaning are relatively low. Most manufacturers recommend annual inspection and cleaning, depending on usage and the age of the dryer. Older appliances should be inspected and cleaned more frequently.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, it is estimated that clothes dryers are associated with up to 15,600 fires each year, resulting in 20 deaths and 370 injuries. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build- up, and result in a fire.
So apart from energy reduction & savings benefits, there is also a very real safety issue at play regarding dryer vent cleaning services. If a household contains an old dryer that has not been inspected or cleaned at regular intervals, the risk of fire increases dramatically. Thus the importance of maintaining and properly cleaning a dryer vent becomes readily apparent.
Most people do not realize that dryer vent cleaning can significantly reduce energy costs and – in return – save money. Blocked dryer vents force the appliance to work harder to produce the same (or less) output. By cleaning dryer vents, households reduce their energy output, lower the time it takes to dry clothing, and minimize the risk of fire associated with excessive lint production.
There are many dryer vent cleaning options for do-it-yourself type people, but the safest and most effective solution is to hire a professional organization that is certified and experienced.
