Cambridge Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard helps Residents Take Action and Prevent Dryer Hazards

Cambridge MA – According to the Cambridge Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, many people do not give serious consideration to hidden hazards in the home. The dryer vent for example; out of sight, out of mind, is often taken for granted while hazardous conditions lurk inside. Proper dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning is vital dryer safety. Some home insurance providers are requiring dryer vent inspections to ensure safety.

Jerry McCarthy owns Dryer Vent Wizard, specializing in residential and commercial dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation. All dryer vents need regular maintenance. Ceiling vents require periodic maintenance from the back of the dryer to the roof cap. This service should only be handled by a qualified dryer vent service provider.

Wall vents are the most common in homes and often easier to maintain. No matter what type of system is installed, the Wizard urges residents to schedule a dryer vent inspection to be sure it meets safety standards.

Air flow is vital to the safe and efficient operation of a clothes dryer. Many people are unaware that the lint screen only catches a little over half the actual lint produced. About 40 percent escapes to the inside of the dryer cabinet and into the dryer ducts where it sticks to the sides and attracts more lint. Eventually, the accumulation will block air flow and lead to overheating and a fire.

The good news is dryer fires are easy to prevent. Cleaning the lint screen after every load will make a big difference in dryer performance and energy savings. A clogged lint filter will cause the dryer to work harder and longer to do its job and cost significantly more to operate. Poorly vented dryers can waste up to $300 per year in energy.

The Wizard also warns people not to put rags or clothing that have been soaked with flammable substances like gasoline or cleaning solvents into the dryer, even if they have been washed. Residue can remain from these flammable liquids and generate vapors that could cause a fire. These items should be line dried.

Improper dryer vent installation or use of plastic of vinyl dryer duct material can also lead to a fire hazard. The Wizard suggests everyone, even the DIY homeowner, have a dryer vent inspection to be sure their system meets current safety standards. The updates in dryer vent safety standards has reduced the number of dryer fires by about 35 percent since the late 1970's, but many people still use the outdated dryer vent systems.

Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent service, dryer vent cleaning, dryer vent repair and new dryer vent installation. Jerry purchased his franchise in 2006 when he realized a need to raise public awareness of the necessity of dryer and dryer vent maintenance.
