We recommend having your dryer vents and ducts cleaned at least once a year to ensure safety and efficiency. For commercial businesses or if you notice longer drying times or excess lint, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Proper maintenance reduces fire risk and enhances your dryer’s performance.

Signs that your dryer vent may need replacement include visible damage, excessive lint buildup, frequent overheating, or if your clothes take longer than usual to dry. If you notice a burning smell or the vent hasn’t been updated for several years, consider a replacement to maintain safety and efficiency.
