Dryer Vent Cleaning is an essential maintenance item. These ducts enable the disposal of hot air from your home or building. Lint, dust, and other foreign material, on the other hand, can obstruct pipes and create issues. Maintaining your dryer vents is critical. According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA):

  • Each year, 2,900 clothes dryer fires are reported, resulting in 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property damage.
  • Failure to clean out the lint is the primary cause of fires (34 percent).
  • During the fall and winter months, there are more clothes dryer fires, with a peak in January.

This is true for both home and business dryer vents.

The benefits of dryer vent cleaning

Maintaining your dryer vents regularly eliminates the risk of lint fires. Furthermore, it increases the efficiency of your dryer vent while also extending the life of your dryer. Lower energy costs for your company or family are a result of improved efficiency.

This is the perfect time to schedule your dryer vent cleaning if you don’t remember the last time you had it done. Our goal at Clear Air Duct Cleaning is to ensure your peace of mind by thoroughly removing any build-up from your residential or commercial dryer in the Salem area.

Reduced power bill

The dryer vent can lead to significantly lower energy bills if it’s functioning properly. A clean vent won’t clog up, which will lessen the running time needed, and that will lower your bill.

Eliminating Odors

Lint buildup can cause a dryer to create burning odors, which will annoy your family and visitors. Many scents can readily become trapped in dust particles; however, a thorough cleaning can effectively solve this problem.

Air Quality Improvements

The importance of a functional dryer vent system should not be overlooked. Even when we have work, school, or other obligations, we spend many hours at home. It is essential to breathe clear air. Inhaling dust and pollution can lead to sneezing, coughing, bronchial congestion, and sinus problems. Pollutants such as these can even aggravate allergies or respiratory conditions.
