DRYER VENT CLEANING IN SAN ANTONIO
Looking for the Best Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in San Antonio?
Keeping your dryer vents clean is vital for a variety of reasons which include not only energy savings but safety. Do you know that lint accumulation can lead to fire at your home? This is because the large amount of lint blocks the air circulation at your vent which in turn, causes overheating which triggers the high-temperature limit to switch the cycle on and off.
In an optimal condition, a dryer vent works by decreasing the humidity level from the dryer, thus increasing the efficiency. But over time, the continuous use will get the duct clogged and dirty causing a lint build-up. Also, some old switches were not designed to continuously switch on and off, but by forcing them to do so, they can fail.
Proper airflow decreases drying time and the usage of dryers. It translates into a cost-saving opportunity. This also helps the dryer to operate efficiently, which can extend the life of the dryer.

How does a dryer vent work?
A dryer vent works by pulling out hot, and moist air from the room to maintain the humidity level low.

ALUMINUM SLEEVE RECOMMENDATION
The flexible, aluminum sleeve is more commonly used. It is safe, permits air flow to pass easily, and allows the dryer to conveniently align to the wall.
The hard, aluminum sleeve is not flexible and can block air flow, which can cause damage to your dryer, resulting in high cost repairs or dryer replacement. It does not allow the dryer to easily align to the wall, causing an unnecessary space gap between the dryer and the wall.
