Dryer vent cleaning Edina, MN: Dryer vent cleaning should be performed at least once a year to prevent dryer fires and promote maximum dryer performance. When a dryer vent system becomes clogged with lint, air flow is blocked, causing excessive heat build-up and eventually resulting in a fire. Poorly vented clothes dryers can also cost an additional $300 per year in energy cost.
The Lint Screen
The lint screen traps a good amount of lint that is removed from your laundry as it dries. It is important that it be cleaned after every load to promote proper air flow for your dryer. It is also a good idea to wash the lint screen every few months with warm soapy water to remove residue build-up from dryer sheets.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
When a dryer begins taking longer to properly dry a load of clothes then this is a warning sign indicating an air-flow problem. When lint is allowed to build up in the dryer ducts heat and moisture cannot escape the dryer drum; therefore, clothes do not dry.
When the dryer is running, go outside and check the dryer vent to be sure air is escaping. If you do not see dryer exhaust air coming from the vent then there is a clog in the system. Dryer vent cleaning is necessary to remove lint build-up and to allow your clothes dryer to work efficiently.
Dryer vent cleaning is best done by a professional dryer exhaust technician. The dryer exhaust duct will need to be disconnected from the back of the dryer and cleaned with special tools. The service technician will also clean inside the dryer. Lint is very messy and a lot of it gets past the lint screen and builds up inside the dryer and throughout the dryer exhaust system.
Some dryer exhaust ducts are short, straight and easy for the average homeowner to access and clean where others are longer and have areas that are difficult to reach. Remember, lint has no problem getting into these hard to reach areas and building up. A professional dryer vent cleaning technician has the necessary tools and expertise to perform the job.
Proper Maintenance
Dryer vent cleaning should be done at least once a year so that your clothes dryer is operating efficiently and safely. When a clothes dryer takes longer than usual to dry a load of laundry, this is a sign of lint build-up and reduced air-flow. Rarely does it mean that the clothes dryer is old and wearing out.
Annual dryer vent cleaning should be part of your appliance maintenance routine. Proper maintenance on appliances promotes safety and saves money on energy costs. It will also reduce the chance of mechanical break-down and prolong the life of your appliances.
