Nashua Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Eliminates Hidden Danger in the Laundry Room

The local dryer vent service technician asks, “Do you know what’s in your dryer vent?”

 

 Nashua NH – Dryer vent cleaning is so important that many insurance companies are requiring homeowners to have their dryer vent system inspected for safety. Dryer vent inspection and service by the Wizard will help eliminate a fire hazard that causes over 17,000 home fires each year.

The local dryer exhaust technician asks, “Do you know what’s in your dryer vent?” Most people don’t give it a thought. “Out of sight, out of mind,” said Webb Dickson, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard. “Most dryer fires start inside the wall and spread through the home before they are noticed.”

The Wizard recalls several dryer fires in his area that caused major damage and left families homeless. A clogged dryer duct is the leading cause of dryer fires but improper dryer vent installation can also be hazardous. Dryer vent cleaning and installation by a qualified dryer vent service technician is the best way to ensure safety.

One dryer fire caused around $10,000 in damage to an apartment building. There were no serious injuries, but one woman was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://nashuanh.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) provides service for apartment managers and business owners as well as single family homes.

Dryer fires are caused by a combination of heat and blockage of air flow. If there is a lint build-up in the system then the combustibles needed to start a fire are present. When a fire occurs in a public place or apartment building, even more lives are at risk. Anyone who owns a clothes dryer needs dryer vent cleaning.

Dryer Vent Wizard provides commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation. Education is a vital part of the service as technicians provide valuable tips and information about dryer fire prevention and energy savings. Visit http://www.nhdryervent.com to learn more

The Nashua Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Explains the Value of Professional Service

Webb Dickson provides an important home service while educating customers on proper dryer vent care and maintenance to prevent fires and save money on utility bills

Nashua NH – Professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning ensures clothes dryers operate safely and efficiently. The National Fire Prevention Administration reports over 17,000 dryer fires each year, causing deaths, injuries and millions of dollars in property damage. New Hampshire residents appreciate the Wizard’s concern for their well-being.

In addition to providing dryer vent installation and cleaning service, the Wizard works to promote public awareness of the danger with poorly vented clothes dryers. He explains the problem to his customers while providing a solution. “Dryer ducts should be as short as possible with few bends and turns which can inhibit venting and cause lint to accumulate,” explained Dickson. “Sections should not be joined with sheet metal screws. We use foil tape instead to eliminate protuberances that catch and trap lint.”

According to Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.nhdryervent.com), in addition to being a fire hazard, clogged dryer vents cost consumers and additional $18 - $24 per month in energy bills. It is not normal for even an older dryer to take several cycles to properly dry clothes. Increased drying time is a warning sign of restricted air flow which can eventually lead to a dryer fire. Dryer vent cleaning is the best solution to restore dryer efficiency.

There are many common mistakes that homeowners make when installing their own dryer vent system. Though the concept of dryer venting is quite simple, there are critical mistakes that can lead to increased energy bills and a fire hazard. Professional dryer vent installation by the Wizard ensures clothes dryers operate as safely and efficiently as possible.

Dryer Vent Wizard professionally inspects and cleans clothing dryers for homeowners and in commercially-owned buildings. Poorly maintained dryer vents are fire hazards and cause clothes dryers to cost substantially more to operate.

Clean Dryer Vents to Save Energy says the Wizard of Nashua

Being a homeowner is a lot of responsibility; there is always something that needs attention, including yard maintenance, appliance maintenance, plumbing, electrical and much more! It all can be very overwhelming; some important things are often forgotten.

Homeowners often neglect to properly maintain their clothes dryer vent. We throw in a load of wet laundry, set the dial and take it for granted as it usually gives us the result we are looking for; dry clothes.

Unless you’re one of the unfortunate people who have experienced a dryer fire you probably don’t give it much thought. Do you know that over 15,000 dryer fires are reported every year? Most of these fires are caused by failure to maintain with proper dryer vent cleaning.

Your dryer vent system removes the moisture, heat and lint from your laundry as it dries. If you have a gas dryer, it also removes gas by-products, including carbon monoxide that you don’t want leaking into your home

The lint screen only traps about 60% of the lint removed from tumbling laundry. The other 40% escapes into your dryer vent system where it builds up and restricts air flow. As the lint builds up, heat and moisture cannot escape and clothes take longer to dry.

Sticky, moist lint attracts more lint as it builds up in the dryer vent system. Lint is flammable; a dryer fire will spread very quickly. A professional dryer vent cleaning specialist can inspect your system to be sure it meets today’s safety codes. Not only is dryer vent cleaning essential; proper installation using the right type of venting material is important to ensure safety.
