Dryer Vent Cleaning
There is no question that your laundry dryer plays an important role in your home. And while homeowners are often aware of issues with the dryer unit itself, it can be easy to overlook issues with your dryer vent.
Unfortunately, a clogged or dirty dryer vent can create serious problems for your laundry dryer – and can become a dangerous fire hazard in your garage or laundry room.
Keep your dryer running safely and efficiently with professional dryer vent cleaning services from ER Air. Our team of expert technicians will thoroughly remove the dirt and debris and keep your dryer vent clean and clear, allowing the dryer to operate effectively.
Signs It Is Time to Clean Your Dryer Vent
Build-up of lint in your dryer vent reduces the airflow & subsequently the efficiency of your dryer. It also causes it to use more energy to dry your clothes, thereby costing you more money. Signs it’s time to clean your dryer vent: A musty odor is noticed in the clothing following the drying cycle. Debris, lint or even a birds nest is noticeable in the outside vent cover. Clothing seems unusually hot to touch after a complete drying cycle. Having to do more than one cycle to get the clothes dry.
Our technicians could efficiently clean out your dryer vent starting by cleaning the lint filter compartment and then disconnecting the pipe from behind the dryer. We use rotary brushes, air whips and a vacuum to dislodge any lint and debris built up. We will also brush out the pipe from the outside vent to ensure that it's completely clear of any blockage. We use a CFM (Air Flow Meter) to measure the air pressure before and after to make sure there’s no restrictions once the job is completed.
A clogged dryer vent not only means your appliance isn’t operating at its peak efficiency, it also poses a safety risk in the form of potential fires. For more information about our dryer vent cleaning and other services, contact us today at ER Air to schedule your free home estimate.
