Would you do whatever it takes to prevent a house fire? Wouldn’t you like extra money in your wallet each month? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then the experts at Atlantic Duct Cleaning have the solution for you - dryer vent cleaning. With a professional dryer vent cleaning, you will reduce the risk of fire from lint build-up in the vents and increase energy efficiency, resulting in lower electric bills. A clean and properly installed dryer vent is critical to ensuring that water is fully eliminated from the clothes and expelled outdoors during the drying cycle. If your dryer vent has a lot of build-up, moisture can condense into pools of water in the dryer vent, resulting in conditions where mold and mildew grow. A professional dryer vent cleaning makes the air in your home is healthy to breathe. Dryer fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint blocks the flow of air, causing excessive heat build-up, and can result in a fire. As a preventative measure, clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct on a regular basis. By eliminating the build-up in the vent, your dryer won’t have to work as hard. Increasing your dryer’s efficiency will use less energy while operating (saving you money!). Extend dryer life. Similarly, a dryer vent line that is clogged with lint will cause your dryer to work harder, resulting in a shorter life span. A properly maintained dryer vent helps to achieve maximum performance and can extend the life of your dryer.
