DRYER VENT CLEANING

Cleaning your dryer vent allows your dryer to operate more efficiently and safely.  As your dryer vent becomes clogged with lint and other debris, the time required to dry clothes increases dramatically.  The longer drying times not only lead to increased energy consumption, but can also result in fires in the dryer and dryer ducting.  If you notice your dryer taking longer to dry clothing, you dryer vent probably is due for a cleaning.  The Dryer Vent Wizard is prepared with special tools and diagnostics to do the most thorough job of cleaning your dryer vent.  The Dryer Vent Wizard is not only prepared to clean your dryer ducting, but can also evaluate its effectiveness.  Improperly installed dryer vents can cause carbon monoxide to seep back into the house. 

The better a dryer vent blows, the less lint builds up in it. Short vents blow better than long ones. Full size dryers blow better than smaller stack dryers or older dryers. Vents with a lot of turns and elbows blow worse and build up more lint. Very short vents attached to full size dryers may never need cleaning! Most vents, however, need cleaning every two to three years, depending on the factors above.
