What Do These Dryer Issues Mean?
Excessive Drying Times and Above-Average Energy Costs
When your dryer fails to exhaust properly, it struggles to dry your clothes effectively. This forces you to repeatedly run cycles and endure long waits for your laundry to dry. Unfortunately, these extended drying periods not only add extra hours to your weekly laundry tasks but also raise your electricity or gas bills.
Signs of Mold & Mildew
Mold and mildew prosper in warm, moist environments. If your dryer vent is obstructed or broken, your dryer turns into an ideal environment for these fungi to multiply. Eventually, mold and mildew can embed themselves in your dryer ducts, the dryer itself, and the clothes you dry. This can cause respiratory problems and other health issues for your family.
Wear and Tear on Clothes and the Dryer
Your clothing isn't designed to be in the dryer for extended periods each week, and your dryer isn't built to operate in continuous cycles. If you keep letting your dryer run repeatedly until your laundry is dry, you'll soon see significant wear and tear on both your clothes and the dryer. This can lead to considerable costs in repairs and replacements, potentially amounting to hundreds of dollars.
Dealing with an inefficient dryer is a burden that consumes your time and energy. However, most people don’t realize the issues they notice all tie back to a single problem: a clogged or damaged dryer vent.
If you notice any of the issues mentioned above, then it’s time to consider a dryer vent inspection.
“When our new dryer in our new house signaled “check vent,” we searched for a dryer vent expert and found them in HomeSafe! Great experience from the first phone call to our experience with the technician on the day he came to fix our vent. HomeSafe really is the best, they know what they are talking about and make sure you understand it too.”
