Clean Dryer Vents are Green Dryer Vents - Clogged Dryer Vents are Energy Hogs and Fire Hazards!

Think about it…what are vents for? Anything with “vent” in its name must be related to air flow or ventilation for air quality. With this in mind, it would make sense to keep any vents clean.

Clean Dryer Vents to Save Energy

Dryer ducts and dryer vent systems are designed to remove heat and moisture from your clothes dryer drum as laundry is drying. Lint is also removed from laundry; however, only a small amount of this lint makes it to the dryer vent outside.

The dryer lint screen catches about 60 percent of the lint that comes from your laundry; the rest escapes into the back of the dryer and in the dryer ducts. The warm moisture, also traveling through the dryer ducts, causes the lint to stick to the sides of the dryer ducts. Eventually, the lint builds up and reduces the air flow; therefore, reducing the efficiency of your clothes dryer.

Clean all Vents

Anything that is vented for air-flow purposes, whether it be your dryer, furnace or stove hood, will cost significantly more money to operate if air flow is obstructed. This causes the appliance to labor, puts stress on the motor, and leads to malfunction. All vents need to be properly maintained for energy efficiency and to prolong the life of the appliance.

Clogged Dryer Vents cause Fires

When dryer vents and dryer ducts are clogged with lint this is a fire hazard. If clogged dryer vents are not cleaned soon, the combustible lint becomes fuel; add a spark from within the clothes dryer and you have the ingredients for a rapidly spreading dryer vent fire.

Annual dryer vent cleaning is recommended to keep clothes dryers operating safely and efficiently. Clean dryer vents to maximize air flow and avoid increased energy bills and appliance breakdown. Clean dryer vents are green dryer vents; the fee for professional dryer vent cleaning and/or dryer vent inspection will quickly pay for itself in energy savings and extended appliance life.
