Dryer Vent Cleaning in Raleigh, NC
Keeping your dryer vent clean not only saves you energy when drying your clothes, but is necessary in other ways.
When a dryer vent is clogged, the dryer has to work very hard to move the air and moisture to the outside of the home. When this happens, the dryer gets very hot, but at the same time, takes a very long time to dry your clothes. The result is that the dryer uses much more energy than it should. As well, your clothes get too hot, which can ruin them. Another effect is that since your dryer works extra hard and gets very hot, the life of the dryer is greatly reduced. Dryer overheating is one of the most frequent types of dryer failure. In some cases, the dryer gets so hot that it can start a fire. There are over 15,000 dryer related fires in the United States each year.
Keeping your dryer vent clean and free-flowing allows your clothes to dry quickly, your dryer to last longer, your family to be safer, and results in lower energy costs.

What can happen if you let your dryer vent become clogged? Over time, the vent narrows (like an artery) as the lint builds up on the sides. The amount of air that can get through the vent at any given time becomes less and less as time goes by. As the air flow gets more restricted, the dryer starts to run very hot. In fact, you might notice that the top of the dryer is very hot. Overheating can damage your dryer and drastically shorten its life. The high temperatures can also damage your clothes. When your vent gets too clogged, the heat is so high that your dryer's thermal fuses can burn out. If the thermal fuses do not burn out, your dryer can catch on fire.
Another issue with clogged vents is that the moisture taks a long time to escape - causing excessive drying times. This uses more energy and is reflected on your energy bill. A clogged vent can also cause your dryer motor to burn up. This is because the blower and motor have to work extra hard to push the air out. This in conjunction with the dryer's excessive heat can easily burn your motor out. Many dyer motors have burned out due to clogged vents. Simply repairing the dryer doesn't solve the underyling issue - which is the venting. If the clogged vent is not addressed, the dryer will soon burn out again. Dryers are happy when they have a free-flowing vent. It doesn't matter what kind of dryer you use - they all will suffer due to a clogged vent. If you experience any of these symptoms, get your vent looked at right away.
