The weather is cooling off, and homeowners are spending more time indoors. This begins the time of the year when we rely more heavily on our dryers as we launder our increased layers of clothes, blankets, and bedding. At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, we encourage our customers to take care of the annual task of dryer vent cleaning before we head into the winter. Let’s take a look at three reasons why fall is an optimal time to have your dryer vent cleaned.
Dryers tend to get used more in the fall and winter seasons, which puts more strain on this appliance. Not only are clothes and textiles dried more frequently throughout the colder months, but they are bulkier items that take longer to dry. This results in extra lint accumulation and puts your dryer at greater risk of a fire. Scheduling your annual dryer vent cleaning in the fall better prepares your dryer to handle the increased usage.
A clean dryer vent will keep your home safe from preventable risks, as well as contribute to your home's energy efficiency. Clogged dryer vents cause dryers to use additional energy, resulting in longer drying times. Since we are reaching the point in the year when your furnace is working hard to keep your home warm, you don't want to cause your dryer to work harder as well to get your clothes fully dry.
Fall is an ideal time for dryer vent cleaning for a few reasons. In addition to the enhanced safety and better efficiency you will experience with a clean dryer vent, you can also help prolong the life of your dryer. After all, winter would be the most inconvenient time for your dryer to be out of service while you wait for repairs. Lastly, a clean dryer vent will enhance your indoor air quality during cold and flu season.
