Protect Your Home
When was the last time you had your dryer vent cleaned? Did you know that lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct, causing it to work overtime and creating a potentially hazardous condition, including dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and even fires? The following tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) can help keep your dryer venting efficiently while ensuring your family’s safety:
- Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional.
- Do not use your dryer without a lint filter.
- Clean the lint filter before and after each load of laundry.
- Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time.
- Ensure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted, and the outdoor vent flap opens when the dryer is operating. Once a year (or more often), have a professional Dryer Vent Cleaning service clean your dryer vents.
- Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to ensure the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks.
- Use the correct plug and outlet, and make sure the machine is connected properly.
Doing laundry may be a routine part of your day, but did you know how important caring for your clothes dryer is to the safety of your home? Having your dryer installed and serviced by a professional, including regular dryer vent cleaning, will help keep your home safe. Remember, the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires is failure to clean them!
Why should you hire a CSIA Certified Exhaust Technician?
When you hire a CSIA certified technician, you are entrusting your home and family to someone who has spent countless hours studying and passing an extensive exam, covering everything from proper inspection and maintenance of dryer vents to the applicable codes and standards. The C-DET credential is the only nationally recognized credential of its kind.
While regular cleaning of your dryer vent is essential, equally important is having routine inspections performed by a professional. A dryer vent may appear to be functioning normally, but hidden clogs or issues can still exist, leading to reduced efficiency and potential hazards. Inspections can catch early signs of wear, damage, or buildup that could lead to more severe problems down the line. For instance, bent or damaged vent ducts can restrict airflow, causing your dryer to overheat and potentially spark a fire. With routine inspections, you ensure that your venting system is not only clean but also in proper working condition, minimizing risks and maximizing performance.
Many homeowners are unaware that a clogged dryer vent can significantly reduce the lifespan of their appliance. When vents are obstructed, your dryer has to work much harder to push out the moist air, resulting in increased wear and tear on the motor and other critical components. By investing in regular professional cleaning services, you can extend the lifespan of your dryer, reduce the need for costly repairs, and lower your energy bills. A clean, well-maintained dryer not only operates more efficiently but also dries clothes faster, which means less energy consumption and better results for your laundry routine.
