Dryer vent cleaning West Chester: Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a number of home hazards, including dryer fires, mold and mildew damage in homes, mold related illness to residents, over-worked dryers, high energy consumption and carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s amazing how many people neglect to clean dryer vents with so many associated benefits.
Do you know what hazards are lurking in your dryer vent system? Dryer fires, mold spores and carbon monoxide are some of the possibilities that can cause serious illness and/or death! Yes, a gas dryer can be a carbon monoxide threat. All fuel-burning appliances can cause high levels of carbon monoxide in your home if they are not properly vented.
Why do people have their furnace cleaned periodically? Some say for safety reasons; others feel that the furnace will last longer or use less energy if it is properly cleaned and maintained. Some people feel that the furnace cleaners will spot potential problems and fix them before the appliance breaks down, requiring expensive maintenance. All these are true…and good reasons to have your furnace cleaned regularly.
Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually for the very same reasons that people have their furnace cleaned; to promote maximum dryer performance and efficiency. A poorly vented clothes dryer can cost up to $300 more per year in energy cost. Improperly installed dryer vent systems or those that are not well-maintained can result in a dryer fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas. You cannot see it, smell it or taste it. High levels will kill you before you know what is happening. Lower levels of exposure can cause flu-like symptoms. What do you do when you have the flu? Get plenty of bed rest, of course! This could be a serious mistake if your flu symptoms are really caused by high levels of carbon monoxide in the home.
Dryer vent cleaning promotes air-flow required for clothes dryers to function properly. Heat and moisture must be able to escape the dryer drum in order for clothes to dry. By law, all gas dryers must be vented to the outdoors, not the crawl space or attic.
Dryer vent cleaning and installation is best when done by a professional who specializes in dryer exhaust issues. Some duct cleaning companies and handyman services will clean and install dryer vent systems, but if they don’t specialize in dryer vents then it can be risky to use them for this service.
