Are fires the only risk from clogged dryer vents?

No, fires are not the only risk from clogged dryer vents. Clogged dryer vents can also cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home, which can be deadly. In addition, clogged vents can lead to higher energy bills and shorten the lifespan of your dryer. A clogged dryer vent can also cause the dryer to overheat and potentially cause damage to the dryer. Therefore, it is important to address clogged dryer vents as soon as possible to avoid these risks and ensure your dryer's safe and efficient operation.
