Fall has officially arrived and winter will be here before we know it. While we still don’t know exactly what kind of weather we’ll be getting over the next six months, chances are we won’t be seeing a lot of sunny and warm weather too much longer. With the cold and rain on their way now is a good time for people to start winterizing their homes for the months ahead.

There are all kinds of things people do to get ready for the cold, wind, rain, and sometimes even snow and ice, in the Portland and Vancouver areas. People make sure their water heater is working, that their furnace is ready to keep them warm and that their pipes are properly insulated. All of these are important steps to help make sure you stay warm and cozy during the next several months.

However, now is a good time to take care of another maintenance item in your home: cleaning your dryer vent. Dryer vents get ignored, but forgetting about them too long can be costly. Lint can build up over time in your vent and eventually too much lint can cause a fire. Of course, no one wants to deal with a dryer vent fire.

That’s why now is a great time to contact a professional dryer vent cleaning company to make sure your dryer is ready for all the extra big clothing and blankets you will no doubt be washing over the next several months.
