Prevent Toronto Fires by Cleaning your Dryer Vents
It's an instinctive thing for homeowners. You take your warm,
fresh-smelling clothes out of the dryer; you pull out the lint
trap; you scrape out the lint; and you put the trap back-satisfied
that you've done your bit for dryer efficiency and safety.
But in spite of your care, a surprising amount of lint manages
to escape the filter into your dryer vent. It can get stuck there,
and build up over the years. This decreases your dryer's energy
efficiency. A blocked vent forces the machine to work harder to
heat the air to dry your clothes. That means longer drying times, a
harder- working machine, more power required and higher energy
bills.
This build up of lint can also put you at risk for household
fires. According to a 2007 Ontario Fire Marshall report,
between 1996 and 2003 the province had an average of 213 fires,
eight injuries, and homeowners faced $1.9 million in losses each
year due to clothes dryer fires. Maintenance and installation
issues such as lint blockage and buildup were responsible for a
third of these fires.
To keep your home safe from power inefficiencies or fire risks,
AtlasCare's Toronto duct cleaning equipment will safely remove any
buildup from your dryer vents, as well as your ventilation
ducts.
