A dirty dryer vent may not seem like a big deal, but in addition to being a fire hazard it runs up your gas or electric bill. The clothes dryer uses more energy than any other household appliance and works by evaporating the moisture off your clothes then blowing the moist air away. The faster the airstream the faster your clothes get dry, and the less it costs. So keeping dryer ductwork clean is important.
Lawson Home Services technician measured the speed of the airstream coming directly out of the dryer at 18 mph. But hooked up to the dirty duct the poor dryer couldn't even get the airstream up to 5 mph. But after a thorough clean-out the airstream was cruising along at 15 mph, a threefold improvement.
Ductwork gets dirty, just like anything else. This before and after picture of the ductwork in. georgetown, DE home shows just how nasty the ducts can get, and what they look like after Lawson Home Services' technician completes the clean out. They almost look brand new.
