We’ll help keep your home safe and healthy with regular dryer vent cleaning services.
Most people understand that they need to regularly clean the lint trap on their dryer, but most people also stop there. While this is an essential habit to form, it doesn’t quite get the whole job done. Your dryer vent extends well beyond the lint trap, and while much of the lint will get caught in the trap, some will also escape into the rest of the vent, where it will build up over time. Dryer vent cleaning is key to keeping this vital component of your dryer free from dangerous buildup, which is why our team at Polar Air Heating & Cooling is proud to offer this service.
The dryer vent is designed to expel the excess hot and moist air your dryer produces. As that air moves from the drum to the outdoors, it also carries lint with it, which settles in the vent. The lint trap may catch most of the lint, but some will still escape into the rest of the vent system. It’s generally suggested that you schedule professional dryer vent cleaning at least once per year to keep the lint level controlled and to remove any other debris that may have made its way into the vent.
The biggest threat for failing to perform dryer vent cleaning is that the lint is highly flammable. A clogged vent poses a significant fire hazard since the lint can ignite due to the heat being expelled by the dryer. Beyond the threat of a fire, a clogged vent also decreases your dryer’s energy efficiency, causes undue stress and wear on the parts, impacts the dryer’s performance, and can even contribute to poor indoor air quality.
