Did you know a clothes dryer uses more energy than any other household appliance? That's why it's important to keep it running as efficiently as possible. Keeping the dryer duct clean is the most important thing you can do to ensure your dryer is running as efficiently as possible.
A dryer works by moving hot air over your clothes, causing the moisture to evaporate. That moist air is then blown out of the dryer and through the ductwork where it is exhausted outside the home. If too much lint accumulates in the ductwork the airstream is restricted and the dryer cannot operated efficiently.
Look at this dirty lint filled dryer duct in this Clarksville, DE home. The airstream in this ductwork was restricted to 7 miles per hour. Look how bright and shiny it was when Lawson Home Service's technician finished cleaning it. The airstream in this clean ductwork now moves twice as fast, 16 miles per hour, which translates into big energy savings for the home owner.
Did you know a clothes dryer is the most costly appliance to use in your home? That is because clothes dryers use large amounts of energy to generate the heat necessary for drying wet clothes, heat that must then be expelled through the vents which carry the moisture outside the house. Therefore it's critically important to keep dryer vent hoses clean and clear, since the faster the air can move through the vent line the quicker clothes dry, saving energy and money. Clogged dryer vents not only waste money, but create a dangerous fire hazard as well.
This homeowner in Ocean View, DE was aware of this and called Lawson Home Services to perform a dryer vent clean out. This service doesn't take long to perform and the cost savings far outweigh the cost of the service. Just look at the difference. After cleaning this vent looks like it was just installed brand new.
