Dryer Vent Cleaning Eugene, OR
A lack of routine maintenance could put your home at risk for a fire if you don’t regularly clean your lint filter and dryer vent. Every year clothes dryers cause many home fires, Aside from being a fire hazard, a dirty dryer vent can increase drying time and spike energy costs.
Signs of Lint Buildup
- Is your laundry taking longer to dry?
- Do you have to run the same load twice?
- Is the top of your dryer hot to the touch after each use?
When there’s a buildup of lint, airflow is restricted, which can lead to overheating. If the air inside the duct gets hot enough, it can ignite the lint and cause a dryer fire.
Benefits of professionally cleaned dryer vents:
Reduced Fire Risk
The obvious benefit of having a professional dryer vent cleaning is to reduce your fire risk. Lint is an extremely flammable substance, and an estimated 2,900 dryer fires are reported each year causing fatalities, injury and property damage. While cleaning the dryer trap yourself is a good start, it’s no substitute for a deep professional cleaning.
Fewer Repairs
Clogged dryer vents put a lot of wear and tear on an appliance which can lead to a higher risk of a breakdown. Dryers aren’t cheap and over time, repair costs start to add up, eventually costing more than a professional cleaning or even a new dryer.
Shorter Drying Times
Clogged dryer vents take more time to dry your clothes. That’s because lint buildup makes it difficult for the humid air to escape, allowing moisture to persist. Having your dryer vents professionally cleaned can shorten drying times and you’ll spend less time waiting on those clean clothes.
Lower Energy Bills
When your dryer takes longer to dry clothes due to a lint clog, it ends up using more energy. Having your dryer vents regularly maintained means higher energy efficiency, lower energy bills, and less money spent just to dry your clothes.
