Lint is a highly flammable substance, so the apparent benefit of having a professional dryer vent cleaning is reducing fire risk. With unpredictable weather, including humidity and dry heat, dryer vent cleaning for residents of Greer and surrounding communities is essential to minimize fire hazards and keep the communities safe.
According to the National Fire Protection Agency, between 2010-2014, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 15,970 home fires involving clothes dryers or washing machines each year. As you use your dryer, lint builds up in hard-to-reach areas. Not only can that buildup lower the efficiency of your dryer, but it can also cause a house fire. For residential properties, dryer vent cleaning in Greer will take about one hour, which is far less inconvenient than the risks taken without having dryer vents adequately cleaned.
When your dryer takes longer to dry clothes due to a lint clog, it uses more energy and increases the risk of fire hazards. Clogged dryer vents put a lot of wear and tear on the appliance, leading to a higher risk of a breakdown and the machine working harder but the functioning being negatively affected. Naturally, this means spending more money on utilities but, more importantly, the potential for spending more due to fire damage.
With proper cleaning of dryer vents, they last much longer, and hazards are reduced. Having a professional pressure washing company perform dryer vent cleaning can shorten drying times and spend less time waiting on those clean clothes. Even with light use, you should have your dryer vent professionally cleaned at least once a year to prevent lint buildup and ensure your dryer is working efficiently.
Over time, your dryer vent will get packed with lint, restricting the airflow from your dryer. Even more, the air is necessary to dry those clothes, so your dryer needs a lot more energy to get the job done. A clogged dryer vent can cause warm air to blow back into the room where your dryer is located, raising the temperature in the whole house.
A clogged dryer vent also results in slower dry times per load, thus using more energy and raising your bill. Investing in dryer vent cleaning regularly means higher energy efficiency, lower energy bills, and less money spent to dry your clothes. In addition to dryer vent cleaning services, GREAT Pressure Washing offers pressure washing to Greer and neighboring area residents, another benefit that offsets electric bills.
