Why clean your dryer vents and air ducts?

Laundry lint and dirt
Your dryer vents will be subjected to a build-up of laundry lint and dust over time. This increases the risk of fire hazards when you continue to use your washing machine with clogged vents, as the machine can easily get overheated and draw excessive energy.

Dust mites and contaminants
Air ducts are also prone to dirt, pollen, dust mites, and other allergens accumulating through prolonged use. Such a build-up can obstruct the airflow within the HVAC ducts, and these airborne particles find a way to contaminate your immediate surroundings. Dust mites take permanent residence within the accumulated dust in vents. As a result, the environment is not very conducive to healthy living when your air ducts are packed with dangers waiting to be unleashed whenever you turn the switch on. People with breathing problems such as asthma become exposed to a continuous supply of polluted indoor air.

Energy efficiency and clean air
Regular maintenance and cleaning of dryer vents as well as air ducts are therefore imperative measures for household/workplace safety. With clear ventilation passages, your HVAC systems become more energy efficient as there is no more debris blocking the way and drawing too much power. As a result, your utility bills will go down considerably. Clean duct-work effectively reduces fire hazards in your dryer vents and allows your machine to run much more smoothly. There are no more overheating fears, burnt-out motors, and frequent electrician fees to pile up as your monthly expenses. Furthermore, vent cleaning alleviates the persistent dust that blankets your counter-top surfaces and upholstery, regardless of your daily surface cleaning chores. With no more dust mites and microbes co- existing with you, you breathe cleaner air, and your living spaces become more welcoming and inhabitable.

Post-renovation dust
Air duct cleaning is a necessary precaution for post-renovation atmospheres. If your home or work premises have undergone wall demolition and various overhaul constructions, it will be a smart idea to
have the air ducts thoroughly cleaned before you move back in. Queen City Vents is known for its contribution to improved urban living, and we are here to help you determine the necessary solutions for your HVAC systems.
