A Broken Dryer vs. A Clogged Dryer Vent
Have you noticed your dryer taking longer and longer to dry clothes? Is your dryer getting hotter than it used to? Are you noticing lint beginning to pile up behind your dryer? Many people think these are the signs of a dying dryer, but in reality, there may be nothing wrong with your dryer at all! These can all be symptoms of a clogged dryer vent. While your lint trap catches a lot of lint, it doesn’t catch it all. The lint that makes it past your lint trap has to travel through the ducts that navigate your home to vent to the outside — but more often than not, this lint gets deposited on the inside of your vents, just like creosote on a chimney. As this builds up, it begins to constrict the flow of air inside of the vents, which causes the dryer to run hotter and reduces its ability to dry. The team at Air Duct Cleaning New Jersey can help by thoroughly cleaning your vents, leaving your dryer working like it’s fresh out of the box!
