Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning

How often do you and your family do laundry? Is it four or ten times a week? Depending on the size of your family you do a lot of laundry. You may not realize the wear that your dryer gets. Every time you turn on your dryer, dust, and lint is captured in the dryer’s lint filter. But this is not the only place that the lint collects. The dryer vent that leads to the outside collects a lot of lint over the days as you use your dryer. This can cause issues with blockage and in worst cases, it can cause fires in the vent. Regular cleaning of the dryer vent is recommended. Our team at Horizon Chimney Services Inc. can help you with this.

  • Safety First: The risk of a dryer fire is higher if you have a collection of lint in your dryer vent. Between 2010 and 2014, the United States fire departments responded to a survey that concluded that approximately 15,970 fires were reported as being caused by dryers or washing machines.
  • Energy Savings: Families are more in tune with the cost of home energy than ever before. If there is a way to save them, they are on it. It is proven that the dryer runs harder, with more energy, to get your clothes dry when there is an added collection of lint. Clothes need to circulate in the dryer with a robust burst of air to dry efficiently. If there is lint in the dryer vent the machine has to work harder and longer to get those clothes dry. Cleaning out the dryer vent will allow a more efficient drying cycle.
  • Longevity: The life of the dryer has a lot to do with the upkeep and maintenance. If your dryer is fighting for “air” during the drying cycle, it is working that much harder. Machines like well-maintained functions to work. Putting additional stress on the machine will add more wear and tear and not last as long as it should.
  • Less Drying Time: Similar to above, if the dryer isn’t getting the required air that it needs to dry clothes, it will take longer or you are stuck with damp clothes. Cleaning out the vent will allow better circulation of air, fluffing up the clothes for a better drying time.

The benefits are abundant. Having a professional take a look at your dryer, cleaning it out, and supplying proper maintenance will allow you a dryer that is efficient and will last a long time.
