Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning Across Winston-Salem & High Point, NC

• Reduce the Risk of Dryer Fires: Increased lint amounts in your dryer can cause your dryer to catch on fire. If your dryer does catch on fire, it can burn your entire house down. Dryer vent cleaning ensures that the lint is removed from your dryer and reduces the risk of dryer fires.
• Save Energy: When a dryer vent is filled with debris and lint, it over compensates for the blockage and uses more energy to run the machine. Dryer vent cleaning will allow exhausted air to travel freely, placing no undue strain upon the dryer itself and requiring no additional energy.
• Reduce Wear and Tear on Your Dryer: The dirtier a dryer vent is, the harder its adjoining dryer has to work. The harder a dryer has to work, the more wear and tear it will suffer. Call our team to get dryer vent cleaning done on your dryer today!

Signs That You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning

Regularly emptying your dryer's lint trap is a good practice, but it doesn't completely fix the problem. Sometimes you will need to clean beyond the removable trap. There are several signs that lint has traveled to your vents, which increases your risk of a house fire and can increase your utility bills. Here is what to look for:

• Your Clothes Take Too Long to Dry: How long does it usually take to dry your clothes? The average load should take approximately 45 minutes to dry. If it's consistently taking longer to get your laundry fully dry, contact our dryer vent cleaning company to see if that resolves the issue.
• The Laundry is Hot: We all know how pleasantly warm that fresh-from-the-dryer laundry can be. But if the load is too hot when it's complete, check your lint trap. If that is empty, there could be excessive lint buildup in your duct. Go outside while the dryer is running and see if you can feel air coming from the vent. If you don't, it is likely time to schedule your dryer vent cleaning service.
• Burning Smells: If your laundry room has a burning smell while the dryer is running, it's a sign that you have excessive lint buildup. Address the issue immediately - this could be a sign of a heightened fire risk!
• The Dryer Indicates a Problem: Sophisticated modern dryers might have a warning light or error code informing you that the system isn't working efficiently. If you see this type of message on your dryer, don't ignore it.
• The Dryer Stops Working: Sometimes, a dryer will automatically shut off as a safety precaution if it detects too much heat. If this happens, consider getting the dryer vent cleaned to see if that solves the problem.

You should be getting your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year; no matter how diligently you clean the filter, lint will eventually make its way into the vent and start clogging your system. Homeowners should be extremely diligent about cleaning their dryer vents; this reduces fire hazard risks and helps your HVAC system work more efficiently.
