How Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orlando Prevented a Fire Hazard

# Dryer Vent Cleaning in Orlando: A Lesson in Safety

In Orlando, near the iconic Lake Eola, our technicians recently responded to a call about a dryer that was overheating. The homeowner, living in the Winter Park area, noticed the dryer taking longer than usual and a burning smell.

## What We Found
- The dryer vent was clogged with lint and debris, exacerbated by Florida's humid climate.
- Blocked vents increase fire risk and reduce dryer efficiency.

## Steps Taken
1. Thorough cleaning of the vent and ductwork.
2. Inspection of the dryer's heating element for damage.
3. Tested the dryer to ensure proper airflow and function.

## Lesson Learned
Regular dryer vent cleaning is vital in the Central Florida region, especially in Orange and Seminole counties. The humidity accelerates lint buildup, increasing fire hazards. Scheduling annual maintenance with Clermont technicians or in the Ocala service area can prevent costly repairs and keep your home safe.

Remember, serving Orlando and surrounding areas means understanding local conditions that impact appliance health.
