Folsom Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard on a Mission to Eliminate Dryer Fires in the Neighborhood

There are over 17,000 dryer fires reported each year with most of them caused by failure to clean dryer vents

 

Folsom CA – The Folsom Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is on a mission to educate residents in the neighborhood to prevent dryer related fires. Many home insurers are now making dryer vent inspection mandatory before providing coverage. An inspection by a qualified dryer exhaust technician will eliminate the danger and provide many other benefits to the home owner.

What causes the danger? According to Gina Fazil, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, there are several factors that contribute. Restricted air flow through the dryer vent caused by lint accumulation is highly flammable. With reduced air flow heat builds up to a dangerous level and ignition occurs. Regularly scheduled inspections of the dryer vent system are the only safe way to eliminate the danger.

Dryer Vent Wizard is qualified to replace inferior dryer vent systems in homes and businesses. Many homes still have old style dryer vent hose which contributes to the problem of lint build up. The old plastic and foil accordion style dryer hose is no longer up to code. The ridges inside invariably begin a collection of lint with first use. The lint filter in the dryer catches only half of the actual lint produced and the rest ends up trapped in the dryer vent hose. As the lint builds up a clog eventually occurs.

The Wizard (http://folsomca.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) will also inspect the dryer vent cap on the outside which is very important. Not only do clogs occur there from lint but birds and small animals have been known to make nests there. This also restricts the flow of air through the dryer hose leading to increased danger of home fires. A dryer vent service technician will make sure these crucial areas are free of obstruction whether the dryer vent is behind the dryer or inside the walls leading to the roof.

Loose dryer vent hoses allow hot moist air to escape into the home allowing for mold and bacteria to grow which can cause problems both for the health of family and pets. The Wizard will inspect the hose to make sure there are no leaks or blockages. She will replace faulty tubing and ensure the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

The family home can be made significantly safer and healthier by calling Dryer Vent Wizard for an inspection and service. Gina Fazil serves residents and business owners in Sacramento, Folsom, Elk Grove, Roseville and surrounding areas. Visit http://dryerventsgoinggreen.com/ to learn more.

Folsom Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Suggests Clean and Green Dryer Maintenance Tips

The Wizard explains how the dryer lint trap is an important safety feature and energy saver

 

Folsom CA – According to the Folsom Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, proper dryer maintenance is necessary for safety as well as energy savings. Keeping the dryer vent clean and green will save money in the laundry room while improving dryer performance, extending longevity, and most important, preventing a dryer fire.

Gina Fazil, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Sacramento combines an important home service with education to promote dryer safety and energy savings. Her customers appreciate her dedication to excellence as she cleans and repairs dryer vent systems to help save energy while promoting safety.

Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year with failure to clean dryer vents being the leading cause. Poorly installed dryer vent systems can also be hazardous. The Wizard (http://folsomca.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) is especially concerned with people using the vinyl, plastic or flexible foil dryer ducts. Another concern is in older homes where the dryer vent leads into the crawlspace under the home.

Fazil explains to her customers that the clothes dryer is one of the most likely appliances to cause a fire and one of the biggest energy users in the home. Most new dryer models have a moisture sensor that will automatically turn the dryer off when clothes are dry. This prevents over drying which can damage clothing and waste energy. Of course, the dryer is only as efficient as the user, so even older models without the auto-dry sensor can be operated more efficiently by adapting the following tips:

Dry full loads or reduce drying time for partial loads. Operating a dryer for an extra 15 minutes per load can cause damage to clothing and waste energy.

Clean the lint trap after every load. Dryers work by moving heated air through wet laundry, evaporating and then venting the vapor outdoors. If the lint screen is full, airflow is reduced and clothes will take longer to dry.

Have a complete dryer vent inspection performed by a qualified dryer vent service technician to ensure it is properly installed according to current safety standards.

Schedule dryer vent cleaning service periodically to remove lint accumulation in the dryer duct and dryer cabinet to eliminate a fire hazard and improve dryer performance.

Dryer vent cleaning is the best way to prevent dryer fires and save energy. A poorly vented clothes dryer can cost an additional $300 per year to operate. Poorly vented gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat.
