Air ducts are responsible for carrying the air from your heating and air system throughout the duct system and all around your business. This is a much more complicated system than the dryer vents. Most people don't give much thought to air ducts and may never get them cleaned. Unlike dryer vents, air ducts may not catch on fire, but they do pose health hazards. Molds, mildew, and all sorts of bacteria can literally breed in your air ducts. If your system never gets professionally cleaned your health and that of your customers and employees is at risk. When these ducts are not clean the air that is distributed by them throughout the building is highly contaminated. These ducts need to be professionally cleaned because they wind all through the building and can have kinks and crooks that are hard to access and clean properly.
Dryer vents differ from these air duct in that they are usually self-contained. They have a clear in and an out. The vents connect to your laundromat dryers and then vent to the outside of the building. Sometimes these are vented on the roof of the building and sometimes ground level. Fire is the biggest hazard of clogged and improperly cleaned dryer vents. These vents must be cleaned regularly to prevent the lint buildup that forms from washing and drying clothes. Many folks think simply checking and cleaning the lint trap inside the dryer is enough. This is not true. The dryer vent must be cleaned out all the way through to the outside. This will lessen the chance of a fire and will improve the energy effectiveness of your dryer. It will also save you money.
The job of cleaning air ducts and dryer vents is important and challenging. If you are unsure how to do the job or need some help, be sure to contact a professional company to get the job done.
