You can’t or don’t clean your dryer vents at least once per year

Dryer vents can present safety concerns. They accumulate highly flammable lint and failure to clean out lint is the leading cause of dryer fires. The National Fire Protection Agency estimates that 15,000+ dryer fires occur in the U.S. in each. A plugged dryer vent can also burn out the appliance’s heating element.

You live in a new or recently remodeled home

Construction creates dust and debris. Removing these from your air ducts will ensure they don’t impact your HVAC system or get spread throughout your home.

You have pets

Keep pet fur and dander from spreading throughout your home by cleaning air ducts regularly.
