Your dryer might be trying to tell you something—and it’s not just about laundry. A clogged dryer vent can reduce performance, raise your energy bills, and put your home at risk. Here are five common signs that it’s time to schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning with Freshair Air Condition.
1. Clothes Take Too Long to Dry
If your clothes need more than one cycle to dry, it could be a sign of poor airflow caused by a clogged vent. The dryer is working harder, but the heat and moisture have nowhere to go.
2. Burning Smell During Use
A burning smell when the dryer is running can mean lint is overheating inside the vent. This is a major fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.
3. Hot Dryer or Laundry Room
Is your dryer or laundry room unusually hot? That’s often a sign the hot air isn’t venting properly. A clean vent allows heat to escape safely and efficiently.
4. Excess Lint Behind Dryer
If you notice lint collecting behind or around your dryer, it's likely escaping from the vent instead of being carried outside. This buildup can quickly become dangerous.
5. You Haven’t Cleaned the Vent in Over a Year
Even if your dryer seems fine, the vent should be cleaned at least once a year. Regular maintenance keeps your dryer running safely and efficiently.
Don’t wait for a problem to appear. Keep your home safe and your dryer in top shape with expert vent cleaning from Freshair Air Condition. Contact us today to schedule service—fast, friendly, and always professional.
