Irvine Dryer Vent Cleaning Service
Built-up lint is a leading cause of house fires. When lint clogs the vent, it restricts airflow, causing the dryer to overheat. This excess heat can ignite the lint. By removing highly flammable lint from the system, dryer vent cleaning reduces the chances of a fire.
Dryer vent cleaning also offers several other benefits. For example, it helps clothes dry faster. Since the dryer runs for a shorter time, it uses less energy, which helps reduce your utility bills.
Most dryers last about 10 years, but keeping the vents clean can help yours last longer. A clogged vent forces the appliance to work harder, placing strain on the system and wearing it out sooner.
You’ll notice several warning signs when your dryer vent needs cleaning. For example, your clothes may take longer than usual to dry. In some cases, you might have to run more than one drying cycle. You may also smell something burning when the dryer runs, which can be a sign that the dryer or the built-up lint is overheating. Also, you might noticed increased humidity in your home or laundry room.
Another indicator is the presence of an excessive build-up of lint on the outside vent. Once you notice any warning signs, please contact us immediately. Schedule an inspection and dryer cleaning appointment as soon as possible.
Signs you need a dryer vent cleaning service appointment include:
- Longer drying time
- Burning odor
- Damp clothing after a cycle
- Higher energy bills
- Build-up of lint on the outside vent
We recommend scheduling dryer vent cleaning once a year, but you can book it more often if necessary. The best time to do it is usually in the fall, before you start washing heavier items, such as sweaters and throw blankets.
It’s important to have our professionals handle the job instead of doing it yourself. We use the proper equipment and have experience to clean your system thoroughly and safely. Our skilled team also checks for additional signs of problems, such as frayed wiring, that could pose a safety risk. DIY cleanings often miss many potential issues. When we complete the task, we’ll double-check our work before leaving.
