We’ve recently discussed the signs that you need to have your dryer vent cleaned, but what are the reasons you need to have this done? At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, we clean dryer vents and we actually recommend this service every year, versus the four to six-year frequency we recommend for air duct cleaning. Failing to regularly maintain your dryer vent will not only compromise your indoor air quality, but it can actually risk the safety of your family as well. Let us go through some reasons why you shouldn’t put off this service any longer.
The biggest risk and worst-case scenario of not having your dryer vent cleaned is the possibility of a fire. We know they happen each year in homes across the country, and you don't want to live with a false sense of security and think it couldn't happen to you. You should clean out the lint trap with every load of laundry, but that is not enough to maintain a safe and efficient dryer.
If you want to benefit from the full intended lifespan of this appliance, regular maintenance will help to achieve that. When your dryer vent is professionally cleaned, it can run more efficiently and function at maximum capacity. Less energy will be used by a fully functioning dryer, saving you money on your utility bills.
When your dryer is running more efficiently and using less energy, you will see shorter drying times required to get your clothes completely dry. Since dryers are known to be hard on clothes, the less time your clothes are in there, the better. If they can be adequately dried after a normal dry cycle, they will stay nice for longer.
