Gas Dryer Safety
Gas dryers require specialized expertise for safe repair. Our technicians are trained and certified to work on gas appliances, ensuring:
- Proper gas line connections and leak testing
- Correct burner flame adjustment
- Safe ignition system operation
- Adequate ventilation verification
Fire Prevention
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryers cause approximately 2,900 home fires annually. Regular vent cleaning and prompt repair of heating issues significantly reduce this risk. If you notice a burning smell or your dryer feels unusually hot, stop using it and call for service immediately.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
A clogged dryer vent is the most common cause of extended drying times and a major fire hazard. Signs your vent needs cleaning:
- Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry
- Dryer feels very hot during operation
- Clothes are hotter than normal at cycle end
- Lint accumulates around the dryer area
- Burning smell during operation
- It's been more than a year since last cleaning
We offer professional dryer vent cleaning services to improve efficiency and reduce fire risk. For homes with long vent runs or multiple bends, annual cleaning is essential.
