Dryer Vents as Part of Your HVAC System

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Have you ever wondered why your clothes are taking twice as long to dry?  Have you cleaned the filter and you still don’t see any improvement?  This is likely due to a clogged dryer vent.  Your dryer is vented to the outside through metal pipe and if this pipe is clogged, it can cause your dryer to malfunction.

Getting your dryer vent cleaned every so often is a service that can both keep your dryer running efficiently and safely.  At Peterman, we offer a dryer vent cleaning that is sure to keep your system functioning properly.  We use a machine and a long hose with a brush on the end that we insert into your dryer vent.  The machine makes the hose and brush spin to break up any debris that is in your dryer vent.  The brush also pulls out this debris so it is no longer in your system.

When your dryer vent is cleaned by Peterman, you can expect to see increased efficiency with your dryer and a safer operating system.  When your dryer vent is clear, your system does not have to work as hard and thus, can save you money when you are doing laundry.  A dryer vent cleaning can also make your dryer safer.  Lent and debris in your dryer vent combined with hot air moving through the vent can potentially lead to a fire hazard.  Cleaning your dryer vent can help reduce this potential for danger.

When looking for a company to perform your dryer vent cleaning it is important to avoid scams that some companies use.  A dryer vent cleaning is a standard process and does not require someone to come out to your home for an estimate.  Any company telling you that they need to give you an estimate is most likely going to try and up-sell you on other services when they come out to give you this estimate.  At Peterman, we offer a flat price when you call to schedule a cleaning.  We also have discounted rates when you decide to pair a dryer cleaning with a whole home duct cleaning.  It is important to avoid these scams when shopping for a dryer vent cleaning service to avoid unnecessary charges.
