Why Is Dryer Vent Cleaning Important?
A dryer vent blows out the heat from the dryer to the outside. It also takes lint along with it. Some of this lint will get caught in the vent and lead to build up over time. A dirty dryer vent will make it harder for the dryer to do its job, often leaving clothes damp, and it will waste energy as well.
However, the biggest issue with a dirty dryer vent is that it’s a major fire hazard—one of the most common causes of house fires in the country. Lint is highly flammable; the temperatures inside the vent can cause the lint to ignite and create a rapidly spreading fire. We recommend annual dryer vent cleaning to keep this risk to a minimum.
Signs That You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning
Here are a few ways to tell that it’s time to schedule dryer vent cleaning with the Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning team:
- Longer drying times: If your clothes are taking significantly longer to dry than usual, it could be a sign that the dryer vent is clogged.
- Burning smell: A burning odor coming from the dryer can signal that lint buildup is causing overheating.
- Excessive lint: If you see lint outside of the lint trap, or the lint trap has far more debris caught in it than usual, it might be from a blocked vent.
- Increased energy bills: Higher energy bills may be due to the dryer working harder to dry clothes due to a dirty vent.
- Short dryer cycles: If your dryer cycle stops before clothes are fully dry, it could be a venting issue.
- Hot dryer exterior: When too much heat gets trapped inside the dryer because of a clogged vent, the dryer’s exterior will feel much hotter to the touch.
