Neglecting to clean your dryer vent can have serious consequences. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the consequences of neglecting dryer vent cleaning.
One of the most significant consequences of neglecting dryer vent cleaning is the increased risk of a dryer fire. When lint builds up in the dryer vent, it can easily ignite and start a fire. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, resulting in an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss each year.
Neglecting dryer vent cleaning can also reduce the efficiency of your dryer. When there is a buildup of lint in the dryer vent, it can restrict the flow of air, causing the dryer to work harder to dry clothes. This can lead to higher energy bills and reduce the lifespan of your dryer.
Another consequence of neglecting dryer vent cleaning is the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning. If the dryer vent is clogged, carbon monoxide can build up in your home. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly if not detected.
To avoid these consequences, it is essential to clean your dryer vent regularly. If you neglect to do so, you may be putting yourself and your family at risk.
