Maintaining energy efficiency in your home is a win-win: You consume fewer resources and save money in the process. That’s why many homeowners have installed energy-efficient appliances, windows, and lightbulbs, among other things, to make their homes more efficient. Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning offers two lesser-known ways to establish more efficiency in your home. Let’s explore how clean air ducts and dryer vents play in energy efficiency.
You may not immediately correlate clean air ducts to your home's energy efficiency, but there is a connection. When your air ducts are full of dust and other contaminants, your HVAC system must work harder and run more often to push the air through. Not only is it working harder, but it's recirculating that contaminated air five to seven times per day throughout your house. Clean air ducts mean your HVAC runs as efficiently as it should, and you will enjoy lower energy bills.
A lint buildup in your dryer vent will cause your dryer to work harder to dry your clothes. Just as your HVAC system must work harder when your air ducts are full of contaminants, your dryer must also work harder when its ducts are full of sticky, flammable lint. A vent full of lint will result in longer drying times and hotter air to dry your clothes adequately. Get your vent professionally cleaned to increase your dryer's efficiency and enjoy your appliance's entire lifespan.
