“Dryer Vent Cleaning” and Maintenance Prevents Fires and Reduces Energy Bills for Consumers

Sept. 24, 2008 - PRLog -- Technicians who work for Dryer Vent Wizard in Genesee County, Michigan are working to educate consumers on dryer fire safety.  Home owners who think its normal for their dryer to take more than one cycle to dry clothes are in danger of starting a fire due to lint clogging their dryer vents.  They advise their customers that lint accumulation in dryer vents causes a dryer to over heat and to run inefficiently, causing fires and increasing energy usage.

Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes is the largest chain of dryer vent specialists in the U.S.  Besides specializing in dryer vent maintenance, they also provide free videos, brochures and dryer vent safety tips for consumers who visit their site at http://www.dryerventwizard.com

Mike Zalac, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Southeast Michigan was recently interviewed.  He explained, “With rising energy costs, our role is to educate consumers as we provide dryer vent solutions.  We are committed to dryer fire prevention in our community as we educate our customers on how to properly maintain their dryer vent systems.”

It is important that dryer vent systems be cleaned annually and that they meet city, state and manufacturer codes.  Plastic or foil vents need to be replaced with semi-rigid or solid metal venting.  Lint traps should be cleaned before and after drying each load of laundry and lint screens should be cleaned with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners.

“I’m so glad I called Dryer Vent Wizard when my dryer wasn’t performing as well as I thought it should,” said one happy customer.  “I thought it was just wearing out and that it was normal for it to take 2 cycles to get the clothes dry.  Mike showed me where the problem was and explained that lint is very combustible.  Mike saved my home and family from what could have been a devastating fire.”
