Vent Duct Cleaning

A proper vent duct cleaning includes the following things. It takes care of cleaning of all registers, the furnace fan cleaning, cleaning of inside of all ducts. It even includes cleaning of the inside of ventilation and heating system. The air conditioning and heat pump coils is a another story and needs to be conducted by a professional in that field.

A clean dryer vent reduces energy and saves you money, increases the life cycle of your dryer, helps prevent dryer vent fires and will dry your clothes in less time. As your clothes dry, they produce lint, and the lint trap doesn’t catch all of the lint that goes through your dryer. By cleaning dryer vents that are outside of the lint trap, you are removing this excess lint. A good rule to go by is if your dryer vent is longer than 8 feet, have it cleaned out once a year. Annual clothes dryer vent cleaning, keeping your lint screen clean, and having short, straight, ductwork will help ensure the safety of your household. Using only aluminum ducting will further help prevent overheating and will add to your family’s safety.

There are two types of clothes dryers one is gas the other is electric. The gas dryer is half gas and half electric, the gas is used for lighting a flame to create the heat to dry the clothes, the electric is used to operate the motor, timer, ignitor, coil kit and thermostats.
