A clogged dryer vent can lead to fire, wasted energy or excess wear and tear on the dryer. Invite the Sarasota Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard into your home to witness the magic he works on dryer vent systems.
"Always clean out the lint trap," he said. "The access panel should be cleaned out annually, if not quarterly. The vent to the outside can get clogged with lint or animal nests, so it should be cleaned out as well."
In addition to potentially starting a fire, clogged dryer vents waste gas and electricity, and can prematurely burn out the dryer. "If your clothes takes longer to dry, or if there's no steam coming out of the exit vent, or if you see lint around the dryer, then the dryer vent may be so full with lint that it needs to be cleaned,"
According to Taylor, if a dryer is used by only one or two people, the dryer vent might not need to be cleaned for "two or three years." However, if a dryer is used by family with two or more children and/or multiple pets then the dryer vent may need to be cleaned one or more times per year. "At the very least it should be inspected by a licensed technician once a year". "In general, the more fleece, towels and blankets you use, the more often you need to clean your dryer," he added. He stated that he cleans the dryers in an animal hospital twice a year due to the animal hair in the towels. The location of the dryer is also critical. If the dryer is close to the wall, it does not need to work as hard to expel the hot air. If the hot air has to travel through a long hose to the exit vent, or if the pipe has numerous elbows, much more energy will be required to push the hot air out.

Sarasota Florida Dryer Vent Wizard franchisee Tom Taylor says that the more often a dryer is used, the more often dryer vent cleaning is necessary.
"You don't want to use any appliance as a storage shelf," Taylor said. "Every appliance needs a space for ventilation, or it could malfunction."
Taylor also advised against running the dryer while no one is home. "You are at risk of having a fire by leaving the dryer running while you run errands," he said. "A lot of people don't realize that fires can occur in dryer vents, and that it's one of the leading causes of fires," Tom Taylor, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Sarasota, said.
Taylor said. "About 35 percent of lint goes through the lint screens," he said. "Eventually, every dryer vent pipe will get plugged. If you don't clean your screen, then the lint builds up."
Professional dryer vent installation is important as well. "Every elbow cuts down on the air speed," Taylor explained. Taylor said that he has seen dryer vents plugged with lint because the owners never cleaned out the lint trap. Another customer had a birds' nests in his dryer vent. Taylor has special tools specifically to remove the nests. "I have them so I can get the job done right!" Taylor said.
