Dryer duct cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer fires and promote dryer efficiency. Some dryer manufacturers have introduced models with a sensor to indicate if the dryer duct system is blocked. These new features can help enhance dryer performance, but manufacturers are not calling them safety features.
Dave Lavalle, franchise owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Greater Charlotte was recently asked if these new features could enhance dryer safety. “Dryer duct cleaning is the only way to be completely safe. The new features are a step in the right direction, but don’t count on them! According to a study conducted by Consumer Reports the results were inconsistent. Sometimes the indicators worked, sometimes they did not.”
Consumer Reports says these indicators cannot be relied on to alert people to a blocked dryer duct. “Even the very best clothes dryer, with all the newest features, and a state-of-the-art dryer duct system, will require dryer duct cleaning periodically to enhance safety and efficiency,” said Gors. “There is no such thing as a maintenance free clothes dryer.”
A good clothes dryer can range from $500 – 1,200. Custom programming and automatic dry sensors do a great job in promoting dryer efficiency. Dave Lavalle advises his customers to have their dryer duct system inspected and cleaned annually to keep their clothes dryers running safely and efficiently. “It is not necessary to buy the most expensive model,” said Lavalle. “The most important part of a clothes dryer’s function is the dryer duct and vent. Without a proper dryer vent system, even the very best dryer will not operate efficiently.”
Dryer Vent Wizard is a nationwide dryer vent service provider making clothes dryers in America safer and greener.
