(EstateNewsWire.com, December 06, 2012 ) Englewood, CO – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Englewood Wizard is adding holiday safety tips to his conversation with customers to prevent home fires and bring firefighters home for the holidays. Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard while increasing dryer efficiency. Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually, with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause.
According to Mitchell Chesney, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, the frequency of residential fires increases during the holiday season so firefighters expect to be called to the scene of at least one home fire on Christmas Day. This is unfortunate for the firefighter and the family who suffers the devastation caused by a fire.
There are a number of common hazards that lead to home fires. Combined with holiday activity and distraction, the odds increase. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.codryervent.com) service technicians encourage residents to take extra precautions to prevent home fires and give our firefighters a well deserved break.
Each year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, firefighters are called to respond when people are enjoying festivities and not paying attention in the kitchen. Cooking accidents are common during the holiday season.
Overloading electrical outlets or using frayed extension cords are another cause of home fires with everyone anxious to try out their new electronic toys.
Over 80 percent of home fires are caused by heating devices. Never refill kerosene heaters while inside the home and avoid using extension cords with electric heaters, especially if they are old and frayed. Store kerosene outside of the home and away from heat sources as the fumes can be ignited by something as simple as a light bulb.
Clothes dryers are the most likely appliance to start a fire and dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to eliminate this hazard. The Wizard urges residents to have a dryer vent inspection to be sure the system is properly installed, followed by regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service.
Never leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running. This goes for space heaters and Christmas tree lights as well.
Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent service while educating consumers by providing fire prevention and energy saving tips while performing service. Mitchell Chesney serves the Denver Metro area, Boulder, Englewood, Highlands Ranch and nearby cities and communities. Visit http://www.dryerventcleaningenglewood.com/ to learn more.
