Protect Your Home & Improve Dryer Efficiency

Every load of laundry produces lint—and much of it escapes the lint trap, accumulating in the vent duct. Over time, this buildup restricts airflow, forcing your dryer to work harder, increasing drying times, and creating a dangerous fire hazard. At Hartford Chimney Care Co., we use professional rotary brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove lint, dust, and debris from the entire vent path, from the back of your appliance to the exterior termination hood.

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Matters

• Fire Prevention: Lint is highly flammable. Removing buildup dramatically reduces the chance of ignition.
• Improved Efficiency: Clean vents let your dryer operate at peak performance, cutting drying time by up to 50%.
• Energy Savings: Shorter cycles mean lower utility bills and less wear on your dryer.
• Better Air Quality: Removes trapped moisture and contaminants that can lead to odors and mildew.
• Longer Dryer Life: Reduced strain extends the lifespan of your appliance.

Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning

• Clothes take longer to dry.
• Dryer feels hot to the touch.
• Burning smell during cycles.
• Lint visible around vent hood or floor area.
• Laundry room feels unusually warm or humid.

Our Dryer Vent Cleaning Process

1. System inspection: We locate the vent path, assess length, bends, and condition.
2. Airflow test: Measurement of baseline airflow and temperature to evaluate restriction.
3. Disconnection & brushing: Rotary brushes loosen lint buildup inside the duct.
4. High-powered vacuum: Extracts loosened lint and debris, leaving ducts clear.
5. Reassembly & verification: Connections resealed and final airflow re-tested for efficiency.

Multi-Unit & Commercial Services

We also service apartment complexes, senior residences, and laundromats throughout Hartford County. Flexible scheduling minimizes disruption for tenants, and every cleaning includes digital before-and-after photos for management records.

Maintenance Tips Between Cleanings

• Clean your lint trap after every load.
• Inspect exterior vent flaps to ensure they open freely.
• Use rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting instead of plastic or foil for safety.
• Have your vent professionally cleaned at least once a year—or twice if you do frequent laundry.
