Crystal just saw a video of someone getting their dryer vent cleaned out… And there was so much lint buildup inside the vent that it led to the dryer not functioning.
Crystal can only know that the lint built up over the years and the homeowner did not wash out the vents while in that time.
Well, after seeing all the debris that came from the dryer vents, it made her reflect on her own vents as she has never had them cleaned before. Moreover, seeing the video also made Crystal reflect on her Heating and Air Conditioning HVAC ducts because she has never gotten them cleaned either. An HVAC duct cleaning is not something that most people know about unless something goes wrong. Meaning, unless there is a bad smell, a buildup of debris or mold growing, most homeowners neglect to maintain the HVAC ducts. Plus, it requires a special vacuum and cleaning materials that aren’t part of the machines that homeowners correctly keep handy. Years ago, Crystal was told by her Heating and Air Conditioning professional that she didn’t need to worry about cleaning out her HVAC ducts, so it was never something that she gave a second thought. Perhaps it’s time to revisit HVAC duct cleaning with her Heating and Air Conditioning professional because it has been at least 4 years since they first discussed it. Crystal can only know that by now, there could be some excess build-up inside the HVAC ducts. Though she doesn’t see any physical signs that dictates this, Crystal would rather address the HVAC ducts now since the thought is present in her mind.
