Dryer vent cleaning is very important maintenance to prevent dryer fires, increased energy bills and mold and mildew damage. Dryer vent cleaning and maintenance is especially important if you have a gas dryer. Poorly vented gas appliances can cause carbon monoxide to enter your home.
Carbon monoxide is more of a threat in the winter time because homes are closed up tight to conserve energy. It doesn’t take much to make people sick. Carbon monoxide forms when fuels burn incompletely. High levels and extended exposure can be deadly.
The National Fire Protection Association advises people to make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of dirt and buildup. Generators should be used outdoors in well-ventilated areas and your stove should not be used for the purpose of heating your home.
Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually to prevent dryer fires and reduce energy bills. Dryer vent cleaning also prolongs the life of your appliance and reduces the chances of mechanical failure. Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum airflow to ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently.
