How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned professionally?

Most homes need dryer vent cleaning every 1-2 years, but it depends on how much you use your dryer and the length of your vent run. Large families doing multiple loads daily might need annual cleaning, while lighter users can go longer. Signs you need cleaning sooner include longer drying times, excessive heat, or lint around the exterior vent. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation during the service call.

What are the signs that my dryer vent is clogged?

The most obvious sign is clothes taking multiple cycles to dry completely, especially heavy items like towels or jeans. You might notice your dryer getting extremely hot, a burning smell during operation, or lint accumulating around the exterior vent hood. Some customers report their laundry room feeling unusually hot and humid. If your dryer shuts off mid-cycle, that’s often the safety system kicking in due to overheating from poor airflow.

Can a clogged dryer vent really cause a house fire?

Absolutely. Dryer fires cause over 15,000 house fires annually in the US, with lint buildup being the leading cause. When airflow is restricted, your dryer overheats and that accumulated lint becomes kindling. The combination of heat, combustible material, and poor ventilation creates the perfect fire conditions. Regular professional cleaning eliminates this risk by removing the lint buildup before it becomes dangerous. It’s not worth gambling with your family’s safety.

How long does professional dryer vent cleaning take?

Most residential dryer vent cleaning takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the length of your vent run and how much buildup we find. Longer vent runs or severely clogged systems might take up to 90 minutes. We ensure efficiency without sacrificing thoroughness, as rushing through the job would defeat its purpose. You can watch us remove the lint to see the results of your investment.

Will cleaning my dryer vent really lower my energy bills?

Yes, often significantly. When your dryer vent is clogged, your machine works much harder and runs much longer to dry the same load. Clean vents restore proper airflow, which means shorter drying cycles and less energy consumption. Most customers notice their clothes dry 30–50% faster after a professional cleaning. Over time, the energy savings often pay for the service cost, plus you get the added benefits of extended dryer life and fire prevention.

Do you clean the dryer itself or just the vent?

Our service focuses on the dryer vent system—the ductwork that carries hot air from your dryer to outside your home. This includes cleaning the transition hose behind your dryer and the entire vent line to the exterior hood. We’ll also check your dryer’s lint filter area and remove any accessible buildup there, but we don’t disassemble the dryer itself. For most fire prevention and efficiency issues, cleaning the ventilation system makes the biggest difference.
