Signs Your Dryer Vents Need To Be Cleaned

If you find yourself experiencing any of the following issues, it’s time to schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning:

• Long dryer cycles: If your dryer struggles to get clothes dry in one cycle, there could be a lint buildup that is restricting airflow.
• Excessive lint: Visible lint in your dryer vent or on your laundry is a sign that you may have a buildup in your system.
• Burning smells: Any burning odor is a sign of danger and could mean that the lint in your vent is overheating.
• Hot dryer: Poor ventilation due to lint buildup can cause the exterior of your dryer to be unusually warm to the touch.
• Increasing energy bills: Clogged vents can force your dryer to work harder than it should, resulting in increased energy usage.
• Limited vent outlet airflow: If there is limited or no airflow from your outdoor vent, you likely have a blockage.
• Frequent overheating: If your dryer shuts off automatically to avoid overheating, it is probably due to clogged vents.

The Importance of Dryer Vent Cleaning

Regular cleanings are an important part of dryer vent safety. Some of the benefits of dryer vent cleaning services include:

• Increased safety: Cleanings help homeowners stay compliant with safety standards and prevent dryer fires, mold growth, and other hazards.
• Improved efficiency: With optimal airflow, your clothes will dry faster, and your energy bills will be lower.
• Prolonged dryer lifespan: Regular vent cleanings reduce strain on your dryer motor and heating elements, preventing premature wear and tear.
• Better air quality: Removing lint and allergens from your vent also prevents them from circulating throughout your home, which improves your indoor air quality.
