Within your home, there are several different types of ventilation systems, including your AC system, laundry dryer vent, and more. That being the case, let’s discuss the differences so you can better understand proper cleaning and maintenance.
Dryer Vents and Cleaning
Usually leading to the outdoors is the ever-important dryer vent duct. This duct itself serves to blow out any hot air that is generated during the laundry dryer’s operation. The dryer vent is a key component to your home’s safety, as it serves to dispel any hot air, and debris within that air collection, that could potentially clog up your ductwork and start a fire. Dryer vent cleaning starts at the base of the duct where your dryer is connected, and it continues through your ductwork all the way to its output on the exterior of your home. This cleaning will remove any flammable lint and debris located on the interior surfaces. Typically it is recommended to clean the dry vent line 1-2 times per year.
Air Ducts and Cleaning
This process is so much more extensive than that of dryer vent cleaning – as it should be! Whereas dryer vent cleaning starts at the source of the problem, air duct cleaning is a whole house process. It sounds involved now, but that is a good thing. When you have your air ducts cleaned, you want the process to be thorough. The cleaning team you use should be addressing every vent, duct, and component of the entire system. Depending on the square footage of the home and the length of the ductwork, it might even take a few hours. However, this cleaning is worth it because it helps to eliminate allergens and debris that can affect your breathing air. A thorough AC system and duct cleaning is recommended every 5-10 years!
The Differences Are Key
The differences between dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning are important to know. In knowing that these are two different types of cleanings, you are able to acknowledge that both types of cleanings need to occur.
Make sure you enlist the help of a professional duct cleaning service like Guardian Home Services that can tackle both tasks. The team you choose should be competent in these duct differences and licensed by the State of Texas to perform the work. Be aware of the dangers that exist without cleanings.
