Welcome to our page. As you can see, cleaning of dryer vents is one of our services at Blessed Electric & Air. The vent is the tube that runs from the dryer to the outside of your house. It removes hot air and moisture from the dryer.
If the vent gets clogged, it can lead to some safety issues. Apart from maintenance checks, it is necessary to get your dryer vent cleaned regularly too. For some of our clients who don’t believe in dryer vent cleaning, here are a few reasons to have a second thought.
According to a reliable source, over 15,000 structure fires are caused by dryers every year in the United States, and 80% of them are due to clogged vents. Remember, lint is highly flammable, and dryers generate heat. The combination is a dangerous one. And clogged vent will make the dryer work even harder.
Also, when the vent is blocked, it can cause a buildup of carbon monoxide and other gases in your home. The gases should have been released outside. This jeopardizes the air quality in your home. To prevent these dangerous situations, you should get your dryer vent cleaned regularly.
If the vent is blocked, the dryer may not be able to generate enough heat to dry your clothes in one cycle. And when the clothes are not dry, they will be run through multiple cycles, spending more time. In fact, a set of clothes that could have been dried in a cycle ends up going through three cycles.
The more time your dryer spends drying your clothes, the more power it consumes. So, running multiple cycles means your power consumption will keep climbing, and your monthly utility bills will follow. All you have to do to keep your dryer running efficiently is to get the vent cleaned always.
Like other appliances, the more your dryer works, the faster it gets closer to its lifespan. Your dryer nears its lifespan with each drying cycle. If it now runs multiple cycles on a single load because of low heat, it will reach its lifespan even faster. In other words, a clogged vent will make your dryer work harder, and this will shorten its lifespan.
Conversely, when the appliance runs efficiently, it will last longer, and the rate of wear and tear will be minimal.
When the vent of your home dryer is clogged, moisture will be retained for a long time. Wherever moisture stays, mold will follow. It’s only a matter of time before mold sets into the vent. From there, it will spread to other areas. The odor of mold will definitely find its way into your living space. To avoid this, ensure the vent of your dryer is always clean.
A clogged vent gets your dryer overworked. And whenever a machine is overworked, its components will pack up frequently because they are not designed for that kind of work pressure. The same thing is applicable to the dryer. If a clogged vent makes your dryer work harder, you’ll frequently pay for repairs. You’ll only enjoy your dryer when it works efficiently.
