Do you like to start off a new year by making resolutions to improve your life? Typically, we make resolutions to take better care of ourselves by eating healthier and exercising more often, but it is also important to resolve to take better care of our homes by staying on top of those necessary maintenance tasks that keep everything working smoothly. One of these tasks that is frequently neglected is scheduling a professional dryer vent cleaning. Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales is proud to offer this service to residents in the Louisville area. You can trust our dryer vent technicians to properly clean your dryer vent system because not only do they have years of experience, but they have also been trained and certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) on the maintenance and repair of dryer vents. We would like to tell you more about the importance of this recommended maintenance task.
Reduces your risk of an accidental house fire
Every year, clothes dryers are responsible for 2,900 residential fires that result in approximately five deaths and 100 injuries. These fires cost about $35 million in property losses. Dirty dryer vents are responsible for the majority of these fires. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it clogs up your dryer vent, it can easily start a fire if your dryer gets hot enough. An annual dryer vent cleaning and inspection from Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales is the best way to prevent an accidental house fire caused by your clothes dryer. We will remove all of the accumulated lint and other debris from your vents to make your dryer safe to use.
Increases the life of your clothes dryer
When your dryer vents are dirty and clogged with lint, it causes your dryer to work overtime, which usually results in overheating. This may lead to the heating element wearing out earlier than it should. And, when your dryer overheats, you are at a much greater risk of a dryer fire. A professional dryer vent cleaning will prolong the life of this important appliance.
Saves you money on your utility bills
A clear sign that your dryer vents are clogged is when your clothes are not fully dry after a drying cycle. Having to run your dryer twice as long to dry one load of clothes not only makes your dryer overheat, but it also costs you extra money on your utility bills. After Olde Towne Chimney & Fireplace Sales performs a dryer vent cleaning, we guarantee you will notice a reduction in your utility bills. Your clothes dryer will work much more efficiently and will cost you less money to dry your clothes.
