Don’t Forget Your Dryer Vents!

Why It Is Good to Have Your Dryer Vents Cleaned

Is your dryer taking more time circling around but not actually performing the task of drying your clothes? Do you also hear banging noises inside your dryer? Does it heat up more quickly that it should? If you notice these things happening in your dryer, it only means that it’s time to have them inspected and cleaned.  We at Clean Sweep & Air Ducts of Michigan Company are here to help.

Dirty dryer vents can and do cause house fires. They also waste time, money and energy.

Most homeowners pay little attention to their dryer, other than cleaning the lint out periodically. We just expect it to do its job. Unfortunately…just like everything else, all appliances require maintenance. Before you start shopping for a new dryer, you should have the vents cleaned to see if this eliminates the issue.

Failing to routinely have your vents cleaned puts you at risk for possible house fires.  The National Fire Protection Association reported that in 2010, 16,800 structures and properties were destroyed by fire, due to clogged or blocked dryer vents. Simply said, you may lose much all because you did not take the time to have your vents cleaned – something I’m sure you wouldn’t want to happen, right?

So here are the advantages of having your dryer vents cleaned:

It saves money

The more time spend in drying clothes, the more money you contribute to your electric bill. Yes, it can unnecessarily drain your budget if this cycle goes on for months at a time. Also, having your vents cleaned may mean not having to invest in a new appliance.

It saves time

Since your vents are clean and unclogged, tendencies are, drying is done much more quickly and this means more time for you. While doing the laundry, you can do other things without having to worry about your dryer not functioning well. Saving money and saving time; that alone is worth it.

It prevents fire

To top it all off, because all is well and good inside and outside your dryer vents, you minimize the chances of fire due to your dryer. This gives you the assurance that you are doing all within your power to care for your home and family.
