Reasons to Choose Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning

Your dryer vents move moisture, lint and debris outside of your home to prevent toxic carbon monoxide from entering your home, and to keep highly flammable lint from building up. Dryer vent cleaning is an important service to keep your Winchester home safe and keep your dryer working efficiently.

Your dryer works by removing moisture from clothes. This moisture is held as humidity, which then gets carried outside through your vent. Dryer vent cleaning involves removing the build-up of lint and debris that reduces air flow and prevents this moisture from escaping. When your dryer vent is clogged, your appliance works harder and harder to get your clothing dry with limited air flow. Not only can your dryer take up to three times longer to get your clothes dry; it's also wearing out faster than it should.

Most people do not give their dryer vent much consideration, but this affordable service offers many benefits. To learn more, visit the experts at Advanced Chimney Cleaning.

Reduce Fire Hazards

About 15,500 dryer fires happen every year, with failure to clean the dryer vent as the leading contributing factor. Dryer lint is a highly flammable substance that can easily ignite. Electric dryers have a fire risk as high as gas dryers, and even modern energy efficient appliances are not safe when it comes to dryer lint build-up.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Gas dryers pose a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. This odorless, colorless gas can back up into your home when your dryer vent gets clogged with lint and makes it hard for fumes to vent outside.

Dry Clothes Faster

Does your dryer take more than one cycle to dry a load of laundry? If so, there is a good chance you have a fire hazard right now in your vent. Clogged dryer vents make dryers run longer and longer to get clothes dry as moist air cannot vent outside. Professional dryer vent cleaning in Winchester will help your dryer work efficiently like it should.

Save Money

A clogged dryer vent will increase the time it takes to clean clothes, which means additional energy costs of $18 to $24 every month. An accumulation of lint reduces air flow, which will make your dryer more inefficient and even stop working completely sometimes. Cleaning out your dryer vent line can save you hundreds a year!

Ditch Mold and Mildew

Your dryer removes moisture when it dries clothing. Clogs in your dryer vent can allow moisture to condense into pools in the vent, which then makes lint stick to the walls of the vent, the perfect environment for mildew and mold. Lint build-up can also cause leaks in the vent, allowing mold to grow in your walls.
