Dryer Vent Cleaning Appleton Wizard Says Proper Maintenance is Critical for Both Function and Safety

The lint screen is an important safety feature and energy saver but it is not the only part of the dryer that requires maintenance

 

Appleton WI – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Appleton Wizard explains that proper dryer maintenance is necessary for safety as well as energy savings. Proper dryer vent maintenance will save money in the laundry room while improving dryer performance, extending longevity, and most important, preventing a dryer fire.

Robb Vandenberg, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Northeast Wisconsin combines an important home service with education to promote dryer safety and energy savings. His customers appreciate his dedication to excellence as he cleans and repairs the dryer vent system to makes clothes dryers safer and greener. He explains how the lint screen is an important energy saver and safety feature, but not the only part of the dryer that requires maintenance.

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://www.AppletonWI.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.

Vandenberg informs his 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.
