Keep Your Home Safe With Dryer Vent Cleaning In Jensen Beach

By Mary Badder


You may have a potential fire hazard in your home at present. What's worse, you may have no idea that it even exists. Many people pay little attention to their clothes dryers but inside the pipes, could be big trouble. Thankfully, your local Jensen Beach air conditioning & heating service can solve this problem for you, and insure a safe home.

Your clothes dryer runs for many years and provides good service. However, in time, lint can accumulate inside of your vent pipes and vent system. After a few years, lint buildup can become substantial and can even lower the efficiency of your appliance. This can cost you more money in electric or natural gas bills, each month.

Most people keep their dryer lint screens clean and think that is all that one needs for maintenance. Yet, this is not enough. In a few year time, accumulated clothes fibers, dust, and lint, only need a tiny spark to start a fire. Material that builds up inside vent pipes is highly combustible.

According to the NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) there were nearly 17,000 fires in the US in 2010, from washing machines or dryers, and 51 people lost their lives. Of those fires, more than 90 percent were caused by clothes dryers and the majority of those fires were due to lint, fibers, and dust, buildup.

If you have used your dryer frequently for several years, you should have someone inspect the vent system for problems. Your heating and cooling service is equipped to take care of this type of work. They will make sure that the entire system is cleaned and in good working order.

Maybe your home smells odd at times and you cannot find the source of these odors. These smells could be coming from your HVAC ducts in the home. Your cooling and heating service has the latest equipment that can get inside of the ducts and clean them. It also disinfects the ducts to make the air safe and pleasant for the entire family.
