Dryer Vent FAQ’S 

1. How do I know if my dryer vent needs to be cleaned?

A. If your dryer is taking more than one cycle to dry your clothes

B. If your vent is longer than 15 ft

2. Why should I get my dryer vent cleaned?

A. For better efficiency – less dry time means spending less money

3. I see birds in the springtime but they soon leave. Does that mean I’m ok?

A. No, birds come and go but that nest is still there causing blockage and is a potential fire hazard. If you make a fist – that’s all it takes to clog your vent.

4. My clothes are cold and wet when the cycle is done. What does that mean?

A. It’s too late. Time to call your appliance technician because you most likely already burned out the heating element. That’s a costly repair. He will suggest you get your vent cleaned by a professional because blockage might be detected.
