Clothes are very hot after a dryer cycle; this generally indicates that the dryer is working too hard due to build up in the vent. In addition, this excess heat can ruin your clothes.

2) DURABILITY – It is estimated that 9 out of 10 HVAC systems end up failing because there was no proper maintenance performed on them. A full replacement of a heating and cooling system can cost thousands, while parts and labor aren’t far behind in price.

I worked for American Standard/Trane for about five years before becoming a freelance writer, so I know I want to purchase something that has a high SEER rating, which can save as much as 40% on our electric bill. If you think of it that way, whatever payments we have to incur to purchase a unit will be offset by the lower monthly heating and cooling bills. Another positive thought about replacing the unit now is that when we decide to sell our house, having a new HVAC system will be a great selling point.

With what I know about dryers and lint and apartments, there is a real chance that the people living at the apartment complex were more interested in just drying their clothes than actually maintaining and cleaning the lint screen. With the lint screen partially plugged and reducing the flow of air, the dryer runs warmer and longer during the drying cycle. In this warmer atmosphere, the dryer belt breaks down quicker and fails. Now that the belt is broken, the dryer builds up heat as the clothes are not tumbling and the electric motor that is suppose to be spinning the drum is running full speed without resistance.

They should also disconnect and clean the dryer duct and venting every two years. If the clothes dryer is used more frequently or there are longer vent pipes then it should be cleaned annually.

Using specialized tools and a negative airflow system (essentially a huge vacuum), air duct cleaners scrape the dust, dirt, and debris from your ducts. The tools agitate the particles away from the sides of the ducts and the vacuum keeps them from escaping into your house. The cleaning should also include air washing furnace and air conditioner components, vacuuming registers, and applying mold inhibiting agents if necessary.

Before attempting to fit a chimney liner to an existing chimney, you must always sweep the chimney. Do not attempt to fit a liner without first sweeping the chimney. Remember that debris may very well fall down the chimney at any time during the installation of the flexible liner. A wood burning stove should be fitted at the same time, or soon after a flue liner has been installed.
