"Just as you have your car serviced regularly to make sure you and your family are safe on the road, you should have your household equipment serviced regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly and your family is safe".
Furnace/Fireplace & Air Conditioning: To ensure your household safety, prevent unnecessary break downs and avoid unexpected expensive repair costs, help the efficiency and therefore money on your fuel bills, and general piece of mind, have a licensed contractor inspect and service your gas and air conditioning appliances annually!
Air Vent and Duct Cleaning: Experience clean air! Canadians spend up to 90 percent of their time indoors. People are far more likely to experience breathing-related problems due to indoor air pollution than they are from outdoor pollution. A buildup of dust, mold and bacteria within your home ducts and vents can exacerbate the symptoms of some asthmatic and breathing conditions. (According to the American Lung Association).
Dryer Vents: A dryer and the attached vent system requires regular cleaning and maintenance, just like your furnace or other fuel burning equipment. Lack of regular cleaning and maintenance of dryers and their attached venting systems, have been identified as causing fires.
Although lack of service can result in a fire hazard, improper dryer venting also poses a carbon monoxide risk. When a dryer/venting system is clogged with lint, air flow is restricted, your dryer then has to work harder which leads to overheating. As the dryer ducts remove lint and moisture from clothes, not all of the lint is captured by the screen or makes it to the outdoors; this builds up on the sides of the vent system and eventually dries to a hard material. This material attracts more lint, where it eventually creates a restriction and leads to overheating, potentially resulting in a fire.
It is recommended that dryers and all appliances are maintained and serviced on a minimum of an annual basis.
