Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Important
As a clothes dryer operates, it exhausts heat through a hose to an outdoor vent. Fibers from the clothing also travel through the house, although some are caught in the lint trap. These fibers will become caught on the walls of the hose and start to accumulate, leading to these problems:
- Fire hazards: This is the main reason to schedule routine dryer vent cleaning. Lint is a highly flammable material, which is why campers often use it as a way to start fires. The heat inside a dryer vent is high enough to ignite the lint, which will cause a rapidly spreading house fire. Clogged dryer vents are, in fact, one of the leading causes of house fires in the country, so scheduling for vent cleaning is a critical job to protect your household.
- Ineffective dryer performance: You can expect to have clothes that are damp after running a load in a dryer with a clogged vent. You’ll end up needing to run the dryer multiple times to get your clothes dried. (On the positive side, this is an excellent warning that it’s time to call for dryer vent cleaning.)
- Increased energy bills: Just as an HVAC system must work harder when it has ductwork filled with contaminants, a dryer will work harder when its vent is clogged up. You’ll pay much more to run the dryer than you would normally.
Aside from damp clothing and higher energy bills, another sign that it’s time to schedule dryer vent cleaning to watch for is when the exterior of the dryer becomes hot to the touch. This means excess heat is getting trapped. Don’t wait to call for cleaning when you notice this: it’s much better to catch it early before it can turn into a safety concern.
