Why do gas dryers cause more fires than electric dryers?
The main risk of fire from home dryers (and commercial dryers for that matter) is from the accummulation of LINT inside the ductwork. Gas dryers vent through the same pipe as the lint, and the gas flame provides a source of ignition. As a result the risk of fire with a gas dryer is much higher than an electric dryer, according to the nfpa. Electric dryers can still cause fires, but the vent has to be significantly obstructed before enough heat is generated to start a fire. The extended drying times that result from an obstructed vent usually cause people to get the dryer repaired before it reaches the point it could start a fire.
How can I effectively clean lint from my dryer vent to prevent potential fire hazards?
