Is Dryer Vent Cleaning Really Necessary?

You can save money with regular dryer vent cleaning and maintenance

A half-inch lint build up in a four foot dryer vent could slow down your dryer by up to 50% making you need to do extra cycles to get through a single load of laundry. This not only does this eat up precious time off your busy day, it also inflates your monthly electric bill needlessly.

Your dryer is the second most energy-guzzling appliance to your home next to the air conditioner and dirty dryer vents only make it more inefficient in its electricity consumption. Dryer vent cleaning will pay for itself in terms of energy savings and peace of mind. It is a fact that lint clogged dryer vents cost an extra $18 to $25 per month that’s $300 per year extra you could be paying due to lint build up in your vents.

Frequent usage of your dryer will have its normal wear and tear effects on its parts. However, if its vents have lint build up, it is forced to work extra hard to be able to get the job done and this will only hasten its deterioration. It can also cause malfunctioning of essential parts such as the heating elements and the heat sensor safety switches.Regular maintenance and dryer vent cleaning will save you from hassles and extra costs of repairs or part replacements which can get expensive.

The Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning

Clogged and dirty dryer vents is a common fire hazard

Lint is very flammable. A single spark can start a localized flame that can easily spread when it comes into contact with other highly flammable items like clothes and fabrics. Your dryer produces and uses hot air in order to dry your clothes and having lint build up on your dryer vents will make your dryer retain more heat because its exhaust is clogged so there’s no way for the heat to escape.

Try touching your dryer while it’s being used. You’ll notice that it’s extremely hot to the touch on the outside, imagine what it’s like on the inside and imagine that heat having a direct access to an area where lint build up is present. It is a fire accident waiting to happen.

You also won’t need to have your vents cleaned more than twice a year so if you’re thinking that having your dryer vents cleaned is too much trouble, you’ll be glad to know that it really isn’t. Protecting your home is definitely worth a few hours in a year.
