Montreal, QuebecPrime Vent Cleaning technicians will provide quality dryer vent cleaning to remove flammable debris from the dryer vents to ensure you have an efficiently working dryer, and as a result, it also keeps your home safer.
AboutClogged vents can cause a fire. The build-up of lint in the vent and the reduced air exhaust provide excellent conditions for spontaneous combustion. Lint is extremely flammable and is one of the main components of fire.
BenefitsIf the vents are clogged, the clothes will take longer to dry requiring multiple dry cycles. This means that more energy is wasted and it will increase the amount to be paid on the utility bill.
GalleryYour washed items are still damp after one dryer cycle.
The dryer needs to run longer to adequately dry the washed items.
The laundry area is increasingly more humid.
The external dryer vent has accumulations of lint or debris.
Cleaning out the lint trap of your dryer is second nature to most of us. We will often clean it after each load.Why? Because it helps our dryer work more efficiently and we know it’s a safety hazard if we don’t. The same holds true for your dryer vent. This is the tube that runs from your dryer to the outside of your house. It helps remove hot air and moisture. If this vent gets clogged it can lead to many complications.
5 reasons why it’s important to keep your dryer vent clean and free from clogs and lint.
The number 1 reason is safety! Dryers run hot and lint is highly flammable, which makes for a dangerous combination.
Dryer fires are responsible for a significant number of damages, injuries, and deaths every year. There are approximately 15,000 structure fires reported annually as a result of dryer fires throughout North America. This is a preventable problem.
There is also the possibility of fumes backing up into your home through clogged vents. The gasses and carbon monoxide that should be released outside could potentially back up into your home causing an air quality issue for you and your family.
We all want our appliances to work as efficiently as possible. A clogged dryer vent could mean your clothes will need multiple cycles before drying correctly or will need to run longer. This is because the proper amount of hot air is not reaching your dryer.
Multiple cycles and extended drying times mean additional energy spent and could lead to an increase in your electrical bill.
A Clean Dryer Vent Means a Longer Life for Your Dryer. We already pointed out that a clogged vent means a less efficient drying cycle. If your dryer is running longer than normal or more than one cycle per load, your slowly decreasing the life of your dryer. It’s essentially working double-time!
A dryer that is overworked will add considerable wear and tear to your machine. This could lead to malfunctions and needed repairs. Allowing your dryer to run this way can also cause a complete breakdown of your machine over time.
The purpose of the dryer vent is to release moisture and hot air outside. The moisture can sometimes create wet spots inside the tube. Built-up lint can get caught in these wet spots and create mold. This wet lint can also stick to the inside of the vent’s tube making dryer vent cleaning more difficult.
Like any other appliance or machine, your dryer will last longer and work better if it’s properly cared for. Cleaning the vent regularly will help ensure that your clothes are being dried in a timely manner and you aren’t wasting unnecessary energy. Extended drying times can even cause strain on your fabrics.
A dryer that continues to run with a clogged vent can cause internal problems that require repairs. This means more money for you. Your dryer vent should be cleaned once a year. If you’re unsure of how to clean your vent or want professional assistance, contact us today!
