Greenbrae Residents Learn Dryer Vent Installation Tips from the Wizard

Jan. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Greenbrae, CA -- Clothes dryers are thee most likely appliance to cause a fire and they are among the most expensive appliances to operate. Poorly vented dryers cause over 17,000 home fires each year with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause.  Improper dryer vent installation can also be a hazard.  Rhonda Nole, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard advises consumers to have their dryer vents inspected to be sure they meet the codes of cities, states and manufacturers.

Rhohda Nole, formerly a network operations administrator for a computer engineering company, purchased her franchise September, 2007.  Since then, she has enjoyed a rewarding career, providing an important home service while educating customers on dryer vent fire safety.  “We have found that many people are still using the old fashioned, vinyl or flexible foil dryer vent tubes,” said Nole.  “Current safety standards require these to be replaced with solid metal pipe to ensure maximum air flow and safety.”

Rhonda does a thorough inspection when she makes a service call, to see if existing dryer vents are properly installed.  “We find problems with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems we inspect,” said Nole.  “There are many mistakes that well-meaning homeowners make when installing their own dryer vent systems.”

According to Nole, dryer vents should be as short and straight as possible with few elbows.  Bends and turns reduce air flow and allow lint to accumulate and clog the vent, which can lead to a dryer fire.  Clogged dryer vents reduce dryer efficiency and lead to higher energy bills.  

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