Get matched with top dryer vent cleaners in Clarion, IA

A burnt rubber smell coming from your clothes after they’ve been in the dryer can be the result of too much lint in the lint trap. This prevents air from circulating properly, and the lint may even come into contact with the heating element. It could also be the result of bigger issues like a faulty thermostat or worn-out dryer belt. A burnt rubber smell can even come from elastic waistbands or rubber decals in your clothes. To remedy this, dry clothes on a lower heat setting or allow them to air dry instead.

If you just moved into a new house or found significant mold, dust, or pest remnants in your vents, or you see condensation on your air vents, you can easily find a highly trained pro to do the job correctly by asking a few key questions:

• Do you have proof of liability insurance?

• What about worker's compensation insurance?

• Are you a member of the NADCA?

• Have you worked on my model of HVAC system before?

• What is included in your contracted amount?

• Can you provide local references?

Clean lint traps, check hoses for wear, and avoid overloading to extend their lifespan.

You might have dampers if you have a ducted heating and cooling system. To find out for sure, find the main trunk line on your HVAC unit, then look for levers or handles on the ductwork. Contact a local HVAC professional if you can’t find any dampers or want to install some.
