How to Maintain Your Dryer
How to Maintain Your Dryer
Clean the Lint Trap
This may seem like an obvious thing to do, but there could be times when you forget to clean the lint trap before you throw another load of clean clothes into the dryer. Cleaning the lint trap can help your dryer work more efficiently, and it can ensure that your clothes get dry on the first cycle.
Check the Duct Connection
If your clothes don’t seem to be getting dry enough, you can start by checking the vent duct that runs from the back of the dryer to the wall. If this connection is loose, it can affect the efficiency of your dryer and cause you to have to run multiple cycles each time, costing you more in energy.
Clean the Dryer Vent
You’ve likely read about house fires being started by clogged dryer vents, and with thousands of fires each year, it’s important to clean this vent on a regular basis. We offer professional dryer vent cleaning that will remove any obstructions and give you peace of mind that your dryer doesn’t pose a fire hazard.
Repair or Replace Your Dryer
On average, a dryer should last about 10 to 13 years, but with proper maintenance and consistent vent cleanings, your appliance could last longer than that. When you need dryer repair, our team will be ready to help, and we can also provide expert dryer installation, should you decide to replace your old appliance at any point.
If your dryer is giving you trouble, or you’re concerned that the vent is clogged and needs cleaning, please contact us today. We’d love the chance to work with you!
