Dryer vent cleanings are crucial and not something to avoid. Getting one annually would be the most beneficial and if it’s been over a year, get one now. It’s necessary because it is a fire hazard! Lint is flammable and lint buildup near the heating element can ignite, causing house fires, making dryers a leading cause of home fires. It also helps with energy efficiency, performance, and health! Health wise it reduces mold and bacteria growth in damp, trapped air, improving indoor air quality.
Signs that you need it now
* Clothes take longer to dry.
* Dryer feels hot to the touch after a cycle.
* Burning smell from the dryer.
* Excess lint in the trap after cleaning.
* Poor airflow from the outdoor vent.
