You clean clothes, linens, and bedding regularly, but do you clean the dryer vent? Lint buildup is a significant safety hazard that can increase the risk of home fires. It can also reduce indoor air quality and your dryer’s efficiency.
JackRabbit Air Conditioning provides affordable dryer vent cleaning, across Southwest Florida, to eliminate these risks. We ensure your dryer works safely and effectively.
When to Call a Dryer Vent Cleaning Professional
We’re known for residential heating and air conditioning services throughout SW, Florida. You may not realize it, but your dryer vent and HVAC system are closely related. The vent leads to a type of duct that exhausts heated air outside your home when you run the dryer. For most homeowners, this is about once or twice a week.
At JackRabbit, we recommend scheduling a dryer vent cleaning service every year. However, excessive lint buildup can occur at any time and takes a toll.
Signs of a Clogged Dryer Vent
- Longer laundry drying times
- Lint has clogged up the filter
- The dryer feels hot to the touch
- Clothes are hot enough to burn your skin
- The unit makes strange noises when running
- An odor similar to burning hair
Contact us immediately if you notice any of these issues.
Benefits of Dryer Vent Cleaning
Your local experts in dryer cleaning throughout Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Manatee County, Sarasota County, Charlotte County, Lee County, or Collier County. Our experts are ready to help!
At JackRabbit, we have skilled and well-equipped professionals who can ensure you see benefits, including the following:
Reduced Fire Risks
The lint that builds up in your dryer may look harmless. However, it can catch fire when heated. Thousands of house fires each year are caused by dryer or washing machine issues.
Faster-Drying Time
If the dryer vent is dirty or blocked, humid air trapped in the machine can prevent clothes from drying. Therefore, dryer vent cleaning can reduce the number of cycles needed.
Longer Clothing Life
Since a clean dryer vent shortens drying times, clothes are exposed to heat for less time. This decreases the risk of items being damaged. Your clothes should look better and last longer.
Less Wear and Tear
A dirty drier vent causes your dryer to work harder, increasing wear and tear. An annual dryer vent cleaning (or more frequently for a larger household) reduces strain so the machine may last longer.
Fewer Allergens
Not only does dirt and lint buildup prevent a dryer from doing its job. It also traps water, which attracts mold, dust, and other allergens. Therefore, a dryer vent cleaning can help you breathe easier and feel better.
Increased Efficiency
A dirty dryer vent forces the system to work harder to exhaust air. To compensate, it must expend more energy, which is evident through an increase in your monthly utility bills. Regular dryer vent cleaning can save you money over time.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
If a dryer vent becomes clogged, it can force hot air into your home. Therefore, cleaning it can help improve comfort. It can also prevent microfibers from being released into the air and irritating your nose, throat, and lungs. If you have a gas dryer, cleaning the vent can reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Why Call a Professional for Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning and dryer duct cleaning require the same tools, equipment, and processes. Dryer vents are very easy to damage if the cleaning process isn’t done carefully. Depending on what the dryer hose is made of, even a standard brush can tear it, causing dryer vent gases to escape into your home.
