Many homeowners don’t realize that one of the biggest fire hazards in their home is hidden right behind their laundry machine. At Airductify, we get asked all the time: “Is professional dryer vent cleaning actually worth it?”
The short answer is yes—for your safety and your wallet. Here is everything you need to know about keeping your home safe and efficient.
Why is Dryer Vent Cleaning Important?
According to the NFPA, nearly 16,000 home fires are caused by clothes dryers every year, with the leading cause being a failure to clean the lint out of the vent. Beyond safety, a clean vent:
- Lowers Utility Bills: Your dryer won’t have to run as long to dry clothes.
- Extends Appliance Life: Prevents your dryer from overheating and burning out the heating element.
- Saves Time: No more running the “high heat” cycle twice for one load.
Signs Your Dryer Vent is Clogged
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call in the pros at Airductify:
- Longer Drying Times: Clothes are still damp after a full cycle.
- Excessive Heat: The dryer or the clothes feel unusually hot to the touch.
- Burning Smell: You smell smoke or a musty odor when the dryer is running.
- Lint Buildup: You see lint accumulating around the outside vent opening.
Common FAQs About Dryer Vent Services
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
For most households, we recommend a professional cleaning once a year. If you have a large family or do laundry daily, you may need it every six months.
Can I clean it myself?
While you can clean the lint trap easily, DIY kits often fail to reach the deep bends in the ductwork and can sometimes compact the lint further, creating a bigger blockage.
How much does professional cleaning cost?
Prices vary, but quality service shouldn’t be a mystery. At Airductify, we focus on transparent pricing and high-quality results.
