The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that clothes dryers are associated with approximately 15,600 fires yearly. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers.

According to recent industry studies, an excessivly clogged dryer vent may add an additional $18-$24 dollars to your home's energy bill. That translates to almost $300 a year in unnecessary fees.

 How often should vents be cleaned?

It all depends on the following:
1. How many loads of laundry does the dryer handle?
2. What kind of  laundry is washed: lots of lint-producing items, such as diapers or towels?
3. How many elbows are there?
4. How long is the venting?

The best way to determine the cleaning status is to monitor the drying time of typical laundry loads.  When the loads take over 30-45 minutes to dry, it's time to clean out the vent.
