DRYER VENT CLEANING AND REPAIRS
WHY CLEAN A DRYER VENT?
The biggest reasons are SAFETY and EFFICIENCY. There are over 15,000 house fires per year caused from clogged dryer vents. And a clogged or partially clogged vent can result in mold growth behind your walls and floors. Gas dryers also use the vent for exhaust of the fumes. (carbon monoxide) We provide dryer vent cleaning services in Olathe, Overland Park, and Kansas City.
WHEN TO CLEAN IT?
Its recommended that a dryer vent should be cleaned twice a year. However once a year seems to be sufficient on shorter vents. (less than 10'). But if your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry, its likely from a clogged vent.
LOSS OF EFFICIENCY
LOSS OF EFFICIENCY
An electric dryer pulls on average 25 amps when running. This is almost double of a central air conditioner!! A clogged vent will increase amperage and cycle lengths. Causing much higher electric bills.
FIRE HAZARDS
LOSS OF EFFICIENCY
Gas dryers are more prone to catching on fire since there is an open flame being used. However an electric dryer can produce static electricity and catch the lint on fire. So no dryer is safe to operate with an obstructed vent system.
LONG LIVE THE DRYER
Clogged vents will lead to premature dryer failure. They cause the dryer to run much hotter and longer than designed. Thus leading to costly breakdowns and replacements. The average repair cost is $350 and the average replacement cost is $1000.
