What is a dryer exhaust vent, and where do i find it?2022-05-11T08:52:09+00:00

Dryer vents offer exhaust or exit to the outside of the house through the roof, or under the house to the outside. You can often find the exhaust next to the A/C unit outside, or straight up to the roof from the back of the dryer.

How often should you clean a dryer vent?2022-05-11T08:52:15+00:00

Fema recommends to clean your dryer vent once annually, but it can depend on many variables. The number of people in the house causes the use of the dryer to go up. The length of the dryer vent pipe can factor into the amount of air being pushed from the dryer and will lose velocity and cause more lint to settle in the dryer vent. Anything over 30 feet can stress the dryer motor. A good rule of thumb is to not wait longer than 2 years for any size house or family.

FEMA recommends once annually! It can depend on the amount of use the dryer has, and the size of the loads. It is a safe bet to not wait longer than 2-3 years for the average use, but at least once annually for heavy use. Even every 6 months may be needed if your dryer is used in a business setting like a hair solon or pet grooming!
