Dryer Vent Cleaning

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lancaster PA

Dryer fires are a common yet heavily underestimated hazard in your home. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are an estimated 2,900 home clothes dryer fires each year, causing, on average, 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and over $35 million in resulting property loss. These incidents are largely preventable through regular maintenance and cleaning of dryer vents and lines.

Dryer vent cleaning is one of the most overlooked home maintenance items, yet these appliances are used practically every day. A byproduct created during the clothing drying process is lint, a fiber that is shed from the clothing items you’re drying. Cotton-laden items such as clothing, towels, and bedding shed lint at the highest rate.

Lint that is created during a drying cycle is funneled into a dryer vent or lint screen. This prevents the bulk of lint from entering your dryer exhaust line. However, it does not prevent all the lint from entering the line. Because it is very dry, lint catches spark easily. Combine that with its close proximity to heat from the clothes dryer, and you’re looking at a dangerous fire hazard.

At Winter’s Heating & Air Conditioning, we provide homeowners with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their dryer vents and lines are clean and free of dangerous lint buildup. We work meticulously to not just clean but totally eradicate lint from your dryer vent.

Our Process:

Not just a vacuum: we use a brush head designed specifically to agitate the lint within your dryer vent to completely release it.
Two-way cleaning: our high-powered vacuum starts at one end, and our agitating brush starts at the other end. This ensures that all lint is safely and totally removed.
Highest quality of service: we guarantee that we remove the lint from your dryer vents. Our goal is to provide you and your family with the comfort of knowing that your home is safe and your dryer is able to function efficiently and optimally.

Why Choose a Professional Lint Removal Services

Lint buildup is very different from dust and dirt debris you might see in your home’s HVAC ducts. Lint is sticky due to its fibrous nature and clings tightly to the inside of your dryer vent. A regular vacuum doesn’t provide enough suction to release the lint from the vents and lines on its own

Routine maintenance and preventative care for your dryer vent is more than just cleaning the lint trap in the dryer itself. Each time you run your dryer lint, fibers and other debris escape from the dryer and build up along the inside of your dryer vent. Regular maintenance is not just a matter of comfort; it is crucial for the safety and well-being of your home.

Inefficient working dryers

The danger of a potential fire is not the only risk that dirty dryer vents can cause. Neglecting dryer vent maintenance and cleaning can result in inconvenient and inefficient drying cycles. As lint builds up in your dryer vent, the airflow becomes restricted, making your dryer work harder and longer in order to properly and fully dry your clothes. This inefficiency not only increases energy consumption within your household, but it can also result in overheating your dryer unit itself. In some cases, this excessive heat buildup caused by a dryer cycle can lead to a fire. The lint build-up can then lend itself to an even worse fire in your home.

Invest in routine maintenance for your dryer and vents.

Routine maintenance on your dryer involves more than just cleaning the visible lint traps and screens. It requires a thorough inspection and cleaning of the entire vent system. Combine that with the knowledge that lint is fibrously sticky, making it difficult to remove from a vent with a household vacuum, and you’ll find you need a professional company to service your dryer vent.

We Love Our Customers

I love WHS! They saved me $1000 on my new unit in my new home and the customer service was excellent.

I called Melvin because our furnace stopped blowing heat. He showed up about 35 minutes later. In no time he figured out the problem and now the furnace is back to running normal again. Thanks for saving the day once again for me. I will never use another HVAC company in my life.

Melvin is a war veteran and I served 25 years in the military, this young man installed a completely new unit in half the time and it has been working with no problems.

My mother complained of heating issues and the other companies quoted $500 for repairs. Turns out it was a bad switch that cost $90 and Winter Home Services repaired it added a discount because my mother was a veteran

Melvin has many years of experience in this industry. His specialized knowledge of the trade and the actual value of the services puts him in a unique position to save you a lot of money. Consult with Melvin whenever you have a need for home and property services.

4 years ago my parents had an issue with one of their AC units and their contracted HVAC vendor explained the unit was shot and needed to be replaced. Melvin came in replaced a $50 part and the unit is still running great to this day. It's unfortunate to think some companies do this to people but they do! Get a second opinion, call Melvin!!
