Mineola, NY — Dryer vent cleaning is very important maintenance to prevent dryer fires and other problems including mold and mildew damage and mechanical failure. Dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation is especially important for those who own a gas dryer. Poorly vented gas appliances can be a carbon monoxide problem.

Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, was recently interviewed. He explained how gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat. “Many people only associate carbon monoxide threats with their furnace,” said Dougherty. Few are aware that poorly vented gas dryers can allow dangerous levels of carbon monoxide to enter their home.”

The snowstorm that recently hammered the east coast prompted New York lawmakers to require everyone in the state to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. Amanda’s Law went into effect after a girl died from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2009. Dryer vents are typically installed on the outside of a home about two feet off the ground. Drifting snow can easily block the dryer vent and block air flow.

According to Dryer Vent Wizard, poorly vented gas dryers are a carbon monoxide hazard during the warmer season as well. Dryer vent cleaningpromotes maximum air flow to eliminate this hazard. Proper dryer vent installation is also important to ensure your dryer is operating safely and efficiently.

Raleigh, NC – Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum dryer performance for safety and efficiency. Since purchasing his dryer vent cleaning franchise, Jim Buie has found his career to be rewarding as he is providing a much needed service while helping consumers cut down on energy costs. “With rising energy costs, my role is to advise my customers on proper dryer vent maintenance to keep their clothes dryers operating safely and efficiently,” said Jim. “Poorly vented clothes dryers can cost an additional $18 – $24 per month to operate.”

Jim Buie explains why dryer vent systems must be cleaned annually and installed properly to meet city, state and manufacturer codes. “Vinyl or flexible foil vents need to be replaced with solid metal venting. The lint screen should be cleaned after each load of laundry washed with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners and dryer sheets.”

The most common sign of poor air flow is when clothes take more than one cycle to dry. “This does not mean your dryer is old or wearing out,” said Jim. “This is a sure sign of restricted air flow which is a fire hazard. Dryer vent cleaning will fix this problem and have the clothes dryer running like new.”

Raleigh, NC – Dryer vent cleaning might be all that is needed to fix an ailing clothes dryer. Many people believe it is time to replace their aging dryer when drying time increases. The Raleigh Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard says you shouldn’t to be too quick to replace your clothes dryer if you notice it taking longer to dry a load of laundry. If your dryer isn’t working as efficiently as it used to then the problem is most likely lint build-up in the dryer vent system.

Jim Buie owns Dryer Vent Wizard, a dryer vent cleaning and installation company in North East North Carolina. Jim recalled a job he went on when a customer was having problems with their dryer. “She bought a new dryer and continued to experience the same problem. The dryer would take more than one complete cycle to dry a load of laundry.”

When Jim arrived at the customer’s home the first thing he noticed was the old vinyl dryer duct. “Vinyl is no longer considered safe for dryer vents,” said Jim. “Vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts should be replaced with rigid metal to promote maximum airflow and prevent dryer fires.”

The customer was happy to have their dryer working properly after Jim replaced the inferior dryer vent system with one that meets current safety codes. “Too bad they didn’t call me sooner,” said Buie. “I’m sure it wasn’t necessary for them to purchase a new dryer. They could have saved some money. Dryer vent cleaning and proper dyer vent installation can make all the difference.”
