What Hillsborough does
to a dryer.

Hillsborough averages 307 days of sunshine a year and 52 days with recordable precipitation.

December is the coolest month, with an average high of 60 degrees, and September the warmest, at 78.

Joseph Eichler once lived in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Bazett Residence, completed in 1940, and his time there is said to have shaped his later housing designs.

Gated communities

Large homes in gated communities often have a full laundry room with the dryer on a pedestal, and sometimes a second pair upstairs near the bedrooms. Each dryer has its own vent run, and the upstairs one is usually the longer and harder to clean.

Designed laundry rooms

Homes with specified kitchens usually have laundry rooms planned the same way, with the dryer raised on a pedestal or set into a cabinet run, sometimes behind a door that matches the millwork. That tidy installation leaves little room to pull the machine out for service.

Pool and beach towels

Outdoor living also means cushion covers and towels by the armful in the warm months, so dryers work far harder in summer than in winter. A vent cleaning scheduled before the season keeps those long cycles shorter and safer.
