Dryer Vent Cleaner Recommends Home Owners Carry Out Dryer Vent Cleaning To Save Money and Reduce the Risk of Fire

Over time dryer vents get clogged. Lint builds up in the back of your dryer and consequently your clothes take more than one cycle to fully dry. Or, the laundry room is warmer and more humid than usual. When any of this happens, residents in Burlington, Hamilton, Mississauga and Oakville need only call Dryer Vent Cleaner to put their mind at ease. They are specialists in assessing, estimating and performing cleaning services that restore your dryer to tip top operation and reduce the risk of fire.

Dryer Vent Cleaner services are available 6 days a week, from Monday to Saturday. They uniquely offer a video inspection of the dryer so that the homeowner can see what’s happening inside their dryer vent. They also take a reading of airflow before and after the cleaning is performed.

When to Get Your Dryer Vent Cleaned

Generally, if it has been more than a year since you last had your last dryer vent cleaned, it is time to get it done. When you notice any of the following issues taking place, Dryer Vent Cleaner is the call you need to make: Clothes have lint on them after drying; Louvre on exhaust termination barely opens when dryer is on; at the end of the cycle your clothes are damp or hotter than usual.

Clothes Take Longer to Dry

CEO, Iain Stubley, talked about their unique services that clearly put the customer and safety first. “Dryer vent cleaning is a service very few home owners know exists, often calling in an appliance company first only to learn their dryer is fine but the vent is clogged. We find a lot of homes with really long dryer vents, which are full of lint meaning the dryer is not running efficiently and the risk of a dryer fire is increased. We also get many customers who replace dryers because they think the drying time takes longer because of the dryer’s age, this is not the case. If the dryer vent is clogged the damp air cannot escape properly hence the long drying times“ he said.

Clean Dryer Vents can Reduce House Fires

dryer vent cleaningClean Vents Save Utility Costs, Prevent unwanted House Fires, Electrical Issues

Nationwide, over 15,000 house fires start in the laundry room due to blocked dryer vents, according to Vent Check International and Consumer Reports.

A dirty dryer vent is the leading cause to one’s home dryer taking twice as long to dry a load of laundry. This hazard can cause mechanical overheating and a potential house fire. Having one’s dryer vents checked by a specialist and cleaned every one to two years can help reduce these household risks.

“Not only can it reduce the risk of a house fire, but having your vents cleaned can save utility costs,” said Iain Stubley, co owner of Burlington Dryer Vent Cleaning, based in Burlington. The company launched its online presence this November and offers key information on the warning signs of an inefficient and potentially unsafe dryer. Some of those warning signs include:

  • Lint buildup back of the dryer
  • Lint that sticks to clothes after a full drying cycle
  • Clothes are still damp after a full cycle or hotter than usual
  • The laundry room is warmer or more humid than normal
  • It has been more than a year or two since the dryer vent was last cleaned

Two or more of these situations should motivate a homeowner to seriously check the quality of his or her dryer vents to prevent unwanted hazards. Specialists can make a quick and affordable home inspection before doing any labor on these issues to determine whether professional cleaning is needed. Taking action at the present moment can prevent the risk of a home fire, temporary housing costs, salvage costs and rising homeowner’s premiums.

Stubley says not only should one be concerned about these safety issues but also their household expenses. He said, “Clogged dryer vents cost on average $288 more per year to run. That’s almost $300 per year in wasted electricity or gas.”

So not only does a clean dryer run more efficiently with clean vents, but it reduces the amount of time it takes to dry one’s laundry and saves money on the utility bill. For these reasons Stubley suggests calling a professional service like Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlington for at least a household checkup. He said taking preventative measures is more livable than the frustration of taking out damp clothes only to put them back in the dryer for another damp-drying cycle.
