Dryer Duct Cleaning Wizard Provides Seasonal Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

Dryer duct cleaning and repair should be number one on the seasonal home maintenance list

 

Saint Clair Shores, MI -- Dryer duct cleaning is the number one prevention of dryer fires among other great benefits. Clothes dryers are one of the most expensive appliances to operate. Dryer duct cleaning improves dryer efficiency to save energy. Overworked clothes dryers can easily break down or throw sparks to ignite the flammable lint accumulated in the dryer duct.

While outside raking leaves, trimming back the bushes and applying fertilizer to the lawn, the Wizard recommends looking at the dryer vent on the outside of the home. Dryer vent repair may be necessary if the hood is cracked, surrounded by mold and moss or the caulk around it is deteriorating. This allows outside air into the home. Repairing or replacing the dryer vent and properly sealing the opening can save up to 10% on heating and AC bills.

Proper dryer vent installation and dryer duct cleaning are necessary to promote maximum air flow to save energy used by the clothes dryer. An inefficient dryer vent system can cost up to an extra $300 per year in energy costs.

Dryer Vent Wizard technicians are happy to educate their customers while performing dryer vent services to eliminate a fire hazard and make dryers more energy efficient.

Dryer Vent Wizard recommends annual dryer vent cleaning to remove lint build-up that blocks air flow and prevents dryers from working efficiently. They advise consumers with gas dryers that inadequate venting could be a carbon monoxide threat. During cooler weather conditions, small animals and birds will find the warm dryer vent opening on the outside of the home inviting as they set up housekeeping and build a nest. Dryer Vent Wizard installs a safe and efficient, no-pest vent to eliminate this problem.
