Clogged Dryer Vents are a Leading Cause of Home Fires in the U.S.

​

Every year in the United States, clogged dryer exhaust vents are responsible for over 16,000 home fires! After years of regular use, clothing fibers accumulate in your dryer's exhaust duct and vent. A clogged vent requires your dryer to work harder and run hotter than usual, risking a fire or premature failure of your appliance.

 

Additionally, when your dryer runs longer and hotter than it needs to, it can not only damage your clothes, but it will also result in higher energy bills.

​

Experts recommend having your dryer vents professionally cleaned every 1-3 years to ensure that your dryer operates as it's intended.
