Did you know a dirty dryer can cause a house fire? Many people don't know. According to Fema's website 2900 clothes dryers catch on fire in residential buildings each year. This results in deaths, injuries, and millions of dollars in property damage. The leading factor contributing to the fire is failure to maintain clean dryer vents.
Dust, lint, pet hair, dirt and other debris accumulate over time. They fill up the vents and the dryer. This cause a lack of airflow and poor drying. This buildup of lint, pet hair, and particles along with the heat from the dryer can cause a spark. Which lights the lint causing a fire in your laundry room. The buildup of particles can also cause your dryer to over work resulting in it going out. Over worked dryers can blow a thermafuse or heating element. If a dryer blows a thermafuse or heating element you will have to call an appliance repair technician. The price to replace these parts can range from $85 to over $250 depending on the make and model of your dryer.
It is important to have your vents cleaned once a year. Getting a dryer vent cleaning will protect your dryer from over working and protect your home from a fire. Believe it or not but a dryer vent cleaning can also reduce your electric bill. Vent cleanings cut back on drying time resulting in less cycles being ran to dry clothes. A proper vent cleaning can have your dryer running like new.
There is also a lot of technology out to protect your dryer and home. Once you call a dryer vent professional, ask about fire resistant dryer ducts. A fire resistant dryer duct is flame resistant and stops the lint from catching on fire. It is also non-bendable and easy to install. Much safer then a regular dryer vent duct. You can also ask the dryer vent professional about an instrument called lint alert. Lint alert lets you know when your vents are full. It is small, doesn't take up a lot of space and it is also easy to install. Take advantage of the technology available for dryer vents. It could possibly save your family's life.

Dryers are replaceable but your home and family are not. Be sure to have your dryer vents maintenance once a year by a dryer vent cleaning professional. There are many companies that advertise service. Be sure to check credentials and make sure they are licensed and insured for your protection. In addition, we recommend an appliance repair company because appliance repair technicians can fully inspect your dryer to make sure there are not any other problems causing your dryer to take more time drying clothes. Proper dryer vent cleanings range in price from $85-$250 depending on size of the duct, where the duct vent to, and how many stories up the duct go. If a technician is charging less, be wary of the equipment they are using. Some companies use cheap equipment that does not fully clean vents and that's how they get away with charging cheaper prices. Ask for a camera inspection before and after. You can also ask to see the lint that has been removed. Take care of your dryer and it will take care of you.
