This is why it’s vital to have a professional like Austin’s Mechanical Service, Inc. to come out and handle the other portion that you can’t reach yourself. Located in Polkton, NC, our team will come to you for important HVAC services such as this.

Important Statistics from the U.S. Fire Administration

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 2,900 dryer fires in homes are reported each year and cause an estimated five deaths, 100 injuries, and 35 million dollars in property loss. The leading cause of home dryer fires is the failure to clean them. More home dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January. Don't become another one of the statistics above! With Austin’s Mechanical Service, Inc. dryer vent cleaning services, you can put your worries aside.

A few ways you can also be proactive include:

  • Do not use the dryer without a lint filter.
  • Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry.
  • Remove lint that has collected around the drum.
  • Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper airflow and drying time. Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating.
  • Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you. 
  • Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks.
  • Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer.
  • Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed.
