Dryer vent cleaning Wizards across the nation promote dryer maintenance service to commemorate National Fire Prevention Month
Port Deposit MD – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Port Deposit Wizard joins over 60 Wizards across the US promoting dryer maintenance service in observance of National Fire Prevention Month. Dryer vent cleaning service is the best way to minimize the risk of dryer fires and improve dryer performance.
Neglected dryer vent systems and faulty dryer vents cause over 17,000 dryer fires each year. National Fire Prevention Week is observed in October, a time of the year when the number of home fires is on the rise. The Port Deposit Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard works to promote public awareness while performing an important home service.
Gerry Rhen, owner of dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.portdepositmd.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) combines service with education to make sure his customers understand the need for good dryer maintenance. Here are some dryer fire prevention tips Gerry suggests to all his customers:
• Clean the lint screen or filter before or after each load of laundry
• Make sure your dryer vent system meets city, state and manufacturer’s safety codes
• Replace plastic or flexible foil systems with sold metal material
• Keep the dryer lint screen clean and wash it every few months with soap and water to remove residue from fabric softener sheets
• Have professional dryer vent lint cleaning done each year
• Don’t store combustibles, chemical cleaning products or chemical soaked rags near your clothes dryer or other gas appliances
• Do not leave the house or go to sleep when the dryer is running
• Check the dryer vent outside often for lint build up, blockage, damage or freezing
Local dryer vent service technicians and the National Fire Prevention Association recommend professional dryer vent cleaning to prevent fires, save energy and prolong the life of the dryer. In addition to cleaning dryer vents, they will also check belts and rollers inside the back of the dryer to be sure everything is in good working order. Worn belts can cause the drum to become unbalanced and rub against other parts, causing the dryer to throw a spark and ignite the lint accumulated in the dryer vent.
Every dryer needs a wizard. The cost of professional dryer vent service is little compared to the benefits. Get peace of mind knowing the dryer operates safely and efficiently; call Dryer Vent Wizard for a dryer vent inspection and service today!
