Professional dryer vent cleaning from Sears can help your dryer work at peak efficiency, saving money on energy bills. Dryer Vent Cleaning also makes your home safer by helping prevent dryer fires—and, for gas dryers, by helping prevent carbon monoxide from escaping from the duct into the house. 

Why do dryer ducts need to be cleaned?

A clogged dryer duct doesn’t allow moisture to vent to the outdoors as freely as it should. As a result, the dryer has to run longer to dry each load. That extra cycle time uses more energy and increases wear on your dryer.

According to the US Fire Administration, lint that accumulates in dryers contributes to a third of the 2,900 dryer fires reported each year. When lint blocks airflow, hot air builds up in the vent, and in some cases, the air is hot enough to ignite the lint.
