Another factor in having a professional clean your dryer vents is that it actually saves you money in the end. Running your dryer with a dirty lint screen can use up to 30 percent more energy. If your dryer vent is clogged or blocked, it will have to run longer to fully dry your laundry, which uses more energy and could cause your electric bills to increase.
In addition to using more energy, if your dryer is taking twice as long to dry clothes, it’s being used twice as much, essentially cutting its life span in half. It will cost you much less, in the long run, to hire a professional to inspect and clean your vents once a year and avoid these issues altogether.
In addition to offering professional and courteous service, Complete Detail’s team members understand the importance of doing the job right the first time. Therefore, you can rely on us to provide you with the best services available and unmatched peace of mind.
Some homeowners may have a do-it-yourself approach to dryer vent cleaning and will purchase a kit. However, there are several issues with this approach and oftentimes it leaves you with a false sense of security that your good work has eliminated the risk of a fire. Experts tell us that more often than not, these devices fail to remove all of the lint in the lint duct. In the end, it can actually cause a bigger problem. For example, the homeowner may unintentionally compact the lint, and create a blockage.
Most recommend cleaning your filter tray before a new cycle starts. However, when cleaning the tray pay attention to how much lint you are gathering. When you notice an excessive amount building up each time, it is a possibility your vent has become clogged. Some have even noticed a large amount of lint collecting on the outside of the lint filter and around the dryer or laundry room.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it is time to call Complete Detail and get a dryer vent cleaning scheduled. Your safety is important to us!
