Does your dryer not work as well as before? Does it requires two or three cycles for heavy clothes such as towels to dry fully? Are clothes hot when the dryer stops, but still damp or wet?
If so, you may have a clogged dryer vent. In addition to being an inconvenience, a clogged dryer vent can cause a house fire. In fact, an estimated 15,000 fires start each year by clothes dryers, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. A clog can also cause excessive heat and exhaust in the laundry room.
A blocked dryer vent reduces airflow, backs up exhaust gases and becomes hot, creating a fire hazard. This can be especially problematic for centrally located dryers in newer homes, where the vent runs a long distance, because it is harder for lint to exit the vent.
Don’t wait for a clogged vent to take action. Routine cleaning of your dryer vent is the most effective way to keep your dryer functioning at peak performance, maintain indoor air quality and reduce energy bills.
A professional dryer vent cleaning from a local team in the Silicon Valley area reduces energy use and can pay for itself quickly in saved energy costs. More importantly, it helps protect your family and keeps your indoor air cleaner.

Jay, Luis and Matt just finished a two-day job of removing our old duct work and replacing it with new energy efficient ducts. They also air sealed the attic, vents, and crawlspace. In addition to their excellent work, they were friendly, showed up on time, made very little mess and thoroughly cleaned up and vacuumed. I highly recommend Residential Heating and AC. Thanks for a job well done.
