Clean A Dryer Vent

View:

While this may not make any sense now, read on and you'll quickly understand how much money you are losing with a less than efficient clothes dryer.

A clothes dryer, running the way it is supposed to, should be able to dry a load of laundry in one cycle. It should be able to dry and fluff your clothes, removing lint as it goes. The average cost of doing a load is about $.75 in a regular dryer.

But then things can slow down. During drying cycles, as lint leaves the drum where your clothes are, the lint gets trapped a number of places in your dryer vent system. The first place this lint will usually get caught is your lint trap. You should make it a habit to clean out the lint trap before each load of laundry as the more lint that is in the trap, the less hot air can move through the system. Improper ventilation causes overheating in the system which results in higher energy consumption and it can be a fire hazard.

Even if you do clean out the lint trap, there are other places lint builds up to cause trouble. Lint can sneak around and past the trap and get into other parts of the dryer mechanism. From getting clogged in the frame of the dryer to getting stuck in the chute or even blocking the vent that takes the hot air outside of your house, there are plenty of ways the lint can cause a problem.

The more this lint accumulates, the less efficient your clothes dryer will be. Eventually it may take 2 to 3 cycles to get one load of clothing dry. You have now tripled or quadrupled the cost of your drying bill.

So, how do you keep your costs down? By making sure your dryer is in good working order. This means having a professional dryer vent cleaning done at least once a year. A professional will come in and clean the inside of the machine and with the use of special tools clean out the ducts and the vent at the end of the line. A properly maintained dryer vent system will help the dryer to operate efficiently to save money on monthly utility bills.

Clean A Dryer Vent

When a lot of people hear about the maintenance they need to do on various aspects of their home, they often brush them off. There are a number of reasons for this from just not wanting to take the time to have anything done, not wanting to pay someone to clean out the system or just thinking that the dryer will be fine if they just ignore it. But the truth is there are many benefits of cleaning your dryer and dryer vent regularly. Here's a look:

Prevent a Home Fire

One of the biggest dangers from a clothes dryer is the possibility of a fire. Remember, a clothes dryer is a very hot working machine and that heat can be transferred to the items around it. Additionally, it is very possible that sparks can be tossed from your dryer, and lint that is caught up in a dirty vent can catch on fire.

Avoid Costly Repairs

For many people who find out they have a dead dryer the technician has the same words to tell them – if you had only done the maintenance, this wouldn't have happened. By keeping your clothes dryer in top shape all the time, you will lessen the chance for failures that lead to costly repairs. Additionally, if you have a technician doing regular maintenance, they may be able to catch a problem before it gets worse.

Speed Up the Job

A clogged dryer vent causes a slow working clothes dryer. All that lint that has gotten caught up in the vent system restricts air flow, reducing the performance of the dryer, taking 2 – 3 cycles to dry each load.

Save Money on the Power Bill

By keeping your dryer running cleanly and efficiently, you will be able to speed up the job of drying your clothes, and save a lot of money at the same time. If you consider it costs about $.75 per cycle of your dryer, a low performing machine that takes 2 or 3 cycles to dry a load of laundry is wasting $2.25 per load of laundry being dried. That's a lot of money you can keep in your wallet by maintaining your dryer.
