How often do you professionally need dryer vent cleaning? Have professional dryer vent cleaning once per year as a rule of thumb for keeping the venting clean and working properly. Your dryer is one appliance you should take care of and have cleaned regularly. If it’s not maintained the venting can become clogged with lint causing losses in performance and creating a safety hazard. How can you tell if your dryer vent needs cleaning? Five easy ways to tell if you need to have your dryer vent cleaned are: Drying your clothes is taking much longer than it used to. Sometimes you have to run multiple dryer cycles before the clothes are dry. You can smell something burning! Dryer lint is extremely flammable, and the burning odor is small particles of lint that are getting very hot. When you get a burning smell make sure to shut off the dryer and unplug it until a professional can inspect the appliance and clean the dryer venting. Many new dryers will have a built-in airflow sensor that will tell you that the venting is getting clogged. Your dryer may even stop working altogether until a professional was cleaned the venting. Your dryer is hot to the touch! if your dryer is very hot this is a good indication that there is not enough airflow to keep the dryer cool. Look at the termination point of the dryer vent on the outside, if the flapper is not fully opening this means that there is not enough airflow present and you most likely have a plugged dryer vent system.
