HAVE A MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME BY HAVING CLEAN DRYER VENTS

With prices going up, so are our bills.  Having your air ducts and dryer vents cleaned can help you have a more energy efficient home.  Having your air ducts clean can save you money.  Research shows

·         Dirty coils and ducts use as much as 30% more energy than clean ones.

(McKinsey Quarterly)

Having your dryer vents cleaned can also save you money because a dryer with restricted airflow runs significantly longer, causing utility costs to rise, increasing the need for repairs and decreasing the life of the dryer.

Not to mention the safety issues with having a dirty dryer vent.  Cleaning your lint screen is simply not enough to ensure an efficient, safe dryer. Even a cleaned lint screen traps only 75% of the lint produced inside a dryer. The rest of the lint builds up over time inside the dryer vent, becoming a fire hazard, as dryer lint is highly flammable and has the potential to ignite at any time. 

·         According to the National Fire Protection Association, the yearly national fire loss for clothes dryer fires is estimated at $99 million resulting from almost 16,000 fires.

By cleaning your dryer vent, we can help ensure your clothes dryer is both safe and energy efficient.
