Clothes dryers are among the most expensive appliances to operate; the cost increases significantly if they are not properly vented
Dryer vent installation should be performed by a professional who specializes in dryer vent systems to ensure that it meets current safety standards. According to the Palm Beach Dryer Vent Installation Wizard, air flow is the most important function of a clothes dryer. Poorly vented dryers can be a fire hazard while making a dryer significantly more expensive to operate.
Horatio Chiorean owns Dryer Vent Wizard of Palm Beach, a dryer vent cleaning specialists who also enjoys educating his customers to eliminate fire hazards by making their clothes dryers safer and greener.
A properly installed dryer ventsystem will help ensure dryers operate safely and efficiently. “When a dryer is not venting properly, it takes longer to dry your laundry, which is one of the most common warning signs of lint build-up and blocked air flow,” said Chirorean. “When the dryer is over worked, it uses more energy, costs more to operate, and eventually either breaks down or causes a fire.”
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually. Horatio recalled two recent dryer fires that may have been prevented with a thorough inspection and cleaning:
Firefighters warn residents to clean dryer vents after a buildup of lint caused a fire in a Pine Hills home in Orange County. A smoke detector alerted the residents who escaped safely. The American Red Cross helped them find a place to stay for the night.
Lint buildup in the dryer vent caused a fire when a Tampa homeowner left to run errands while the dryer was running. A quick thinking neighbor used a garden hose to control the flames until firefighters arrived. No one was injured and firefighters rescued Smoky, the pet Chihuahua, who was found hiding in a closet.
Dryer Vent Wizard urges consumers to have their dryer vent system inspected by a qualified dryer exhaust professional. Those who are using the flexible foil, vinyl or plastic dryer exhaust duct should have their dryer vent system replaced immediately. Dryer Vent Wizard only installs dryer vent systems made of rigid metal for maximum air flow. Flexible foil can become crushed, blocking air-flow; vinyl or plastic cracks and deteriorates, allowing dryer exhaust fumes, heat and moisture to leak into homes.
With nearly 60 Wizards nationwide, consumers should find one in their area and get peace of mind knowing that their clothes dryer operates safely and efficiently to prevent a fire and save up to $300 per year on energy bills.
