Good indications that you need your dryer duct cleaned are:
The National Fire Protection Association says: “Dryers and washing machines were involved in one out of every 22 home structure fires reported to U.S. fire departments in 2006-2010.”
Most people think that cleaning out their lint screen is all they need to do. But simply cleaning your lint screen is not enough. A clean lint screen can only trap up to 75% of the lint produced from your dryer. What is not trapped by the lint screen can build up over time in the ducting, reducing airflow and causing excessive heat to build up which could lead to a fire at any time. Dryer lint is extremely flammable!
When your dryer has reduced airflow from lint buildup, crushed or kinked ducting, it forces the dryer to run longer resulting in higher utility costs. It can also shorten the life of your dryer significantly and increase the need for repairs. Regular inspection and cleaning of your dryer duct can shorten drying time and save you money on your gas and electric bills by increasing the overall efficiency of your dryer. Maintaining a clean and healthy dryer duct system is key to an energy-efficient and safely operating clothes dryer that will last for years.
