EVER
THOUGHT
ABOUT
YOUR
DRYER
VENT?
Here
are two great reasons
why
you should. . .
REASON
NUMBER ONE:
There
Were 15,500* Dryer Vent
Fires
Last Year
And
the number continues to rise. Why? Most people don't know their
dryer vents need to be cleaned. They clean out their lint filter
now and then and think that's it. But the dryer vent duct
is where lint can really build up and get clogged. And lint
is highly flammable, accounting for most dryer vent fires.
In
addition to lint buildup, improper installation of your dryer vent system
can also pose a serious danger to you. A dryer vent cleaning professional
will detect potential hazards such as the presence of flammable vinyl duct
or a duct run that is improperly routed. So ensure your family's
safety with a professional inspection.
REASON
NUMBER TWO:
Lint
Buildup Takes More Energy
(And
Money) To Dry Your Clothes
If
your dryer isn't drying your clothes like it used to, you may not need
a new dryer! A dryer vent clogged with lint reduces airflow so your
dryer doesn't dry as efficiently as it used to. An inefficient dryer also
uses more energy, thereby costing you more money.
| The
Solution: |
Have your
dryer vent system cleaned and inspected yearly by a dryer vent cleaning
professional. A standard cleaning will involve unhooking the dryer, cleaning
the vent duct with special tools, and checking connections. A professional
can also service all venting situations, including today's extremely long
vent ducts. These ducts are especially susceptible to lint buildup.
So
don't take a chance - put you family's safety in the hands of a professional.
It will protect them against potential fire and save you money as well
- two great reasons why you should think about your dryer vent.
