How a Clogged Dryer Vent in Ocala Taught Us About Seasonal Applia...

# Dryer Vent Cleaning: A Lesson from Ocala

In the Ocala service area, near the heart of Marion County, our technicians recently tackled a dryer that just wouldn't dry clothes efficiently. The homeowner, living near the Ocala National Forest, noticed longer drying times especially with Florida’s humid air.

## What We Found
- The dryer vent was heavily clogged with lint mixed with seasonal pollen and debris.
- This blockage caused overheating and increased energy use.
- The high Florida humidity worsened the moisture buildup inside the vent.

## Why It Matters in Central Florida
- Seasonal pollen and humidity common in the Greater Orlando Area and surrounding regions like Lake and Seminole Counties can accelerate vent blockages.
- Neglecting vent cleaning can lead to appliance damage or fire hazards.

## Lesson Learned
- Regular vent cleaning is crucial, especially for homes in Orange, Lake, and Marion Counties.
- Scheduling this maintenance before and after Florida’s pollen seasons helps maintain dryer efficiency and safety.

If you’re in the Ocala service area or nearby, don’t underestimate the impact of local weather on your appliances.
