Cleaning Vents Clear Lake City TX - Fan Motor Cleaners |

Annual dryer exhaust vent inspections (also known as dryer exhaust duct inspections) are more necessary than ever before due to the complex construction of homes built today. Newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside wall in bathrooms, kitchens and in hall closets which is convenient, but potentially dangerous from a safety standpoint. These new locations mean that dryers tend to be vented longer distances and vents are generally installed with more bends to accommodate the extended path they must take through the home. As a result, dryer ducts are harder to access and this additional length creates more places where lint can collect and animals and birds can hide. Use of a dryer with a dirty vent can cause the dryer to run longer to dry the same amount of clothes because the hot air being expelled cannot freely exit the vent. Longer drying time takes more electricity and puts added stress on the appliance. |

If you're wondering why your clothes dryer is taking longer than usual to finish a single load, there is a simple answer to that but it can have serious consequences. An accumulation of lint in the dryer or the dryer vent pipe reduces the efficiency of the appliance and makes it a fire hazard.
Clear Lake City residents who own clothes dryers should know about the dangerous combination of heat and lint buildup. With the buildup of lint in the dryer or the exhaust vent, the airflow is reduced which causes the appliance to work much harder. An inefficient dryer heats up a lot more, which can then start a fire. |
