WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR DRYER VENT?

A clothes dryer is not a cheap appliance, so why would you knowingly cut years off its service life? By failing to clean your dryer vent regularly, you're potentially doing just that. When lint, dust and other debris collect in your dryer vent, it causes the heating element to work harder in order to dry clothes. Over time, the dryer will take longer and longer to dry even small loads of clothes, impacting your electricity bills. Not to mention many home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning incidents are caused by heat build-up in clogged dryer vents! Call Top Hat Chimney & Masonry today to protect your dryer, electricity bills, and entire home.

Schedule A Dyer Vent Cleaning Today!

On average, dryer vents need to be cleaned once a year in a single family home. That means it's convenient to schedule dryer vent and chimney cleanings together. That said, some high volume dryers for large families need cleaning every six months, while a single person may only need to clean the vents once every two years. The best way to know is to watch for the warning signals that your dryer vent needs to be cleaned, and schedule a cleaning appointment as soon as you notice one or more telltale signals.
