The Wizard of Lexington Reveals Dryer Vent Installation Secrets Everyone Should Know

April 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Lexington, KY:  Dryer vent installation should be handled by a professional to ensure maximum dryer performance and safety.  Proper dryer vent installation is essential to promote proper air flow needed for a clothes dryer to function properly.  Without air flow, heat and moisture cannot escape the dryer drum; therefore, laundry will not dry.  This will cause the dryer to run longer and use excess energy.  

Many appliance manufacturers have made it a policy to advise service companies and consumers that the use of vinyl, plastic or flexible foil no longer meets current safety codes.  They are also advising that dryer exhaust ducts be within maximums provided for length and the number of bends and turns.

Short and straight is the rule for installing a dryer vent system.  In the past most dryers were located in the basement.  As times changed, people preferred to have their laundry facilities on the first floor.  This convenience also improved efficiency as the dryer ducts are very short with the dryer placed on an outside wall and the vent located outdoors, just a few inches away.

Newer homes are built with convenience for the homeowner in mind; unfortunately, not enough consideration was given to safety and efficiency as the laundry room is now located near the center of the home, upstairs between bedrooms where most dirty laundry originates.  Now the distance from the dryer to the vent outside is considerably longer.  Proper installation of a dryer vent system is important in this situation.

Proper dryer vent installation and annual dryer vent cleaning by Dryer Vent Wizard ensures dryer safety and efficiency.  Poorly vented gas dryers can pose a carbon monoxide threat.  Older style dryer vent systems made of vinyl or flexible foil can become damaged and allow excess moisture into your home, resulting in mold and mildew damage.
