(EstateNewsWire.com, December 05, 2012 ) West Chester, PA – The West Chester Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is reminding area residents to clean dryer vents now to enjoy peace of mind during the holidays. There is always something that needs a homeowner’s attention, including small repairs and seasonal maintenance. With the holidays approaching, the Wizard recommends taking care of these items now as holiday activities will soon take top priority.
Dryer vent cleaning is the best way to prevent dryer fires. Failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of over 17,000 dryer fires that occur each year in the U.S. Gerry Rhen, owner o Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.getthelintout.org/) suggests holiday fire safety tips in addition to proper dryer vent maintenance to ensure a safe and happy holiday season to all.
The number of home fires increases around holiday time causing deaths and injuries and millions of dollars in property damages. Here are some tips to eliminate fire hazards during the holidays:
Christmas Trees
Live trees will burn quickly, filling a home with fire and deadly gases. One should be sure to select a fresh tree for their home. Needles should be green and hard to bend or break. The trunk should be sticky. If the tree was cut too long ago the needles will be falling off and the trunk will be dry; this is a fire hazard.
When the holidays are over, take the tree to a recycling center or have it hauled by the waste removal company. Do not attempt to burn it in the fireplace or wood burning stove.
Holiday Lights and Decorations
Check holiday lights before using them each year; look for frayed wires, broken light sockets and other signs of damage or wear. Avoid overloading electrical outlets or stringing too many strands together. Read directions for recommendations and safety precautions.
Use flame resistant decorations. Use care with candles, placing them on a stable surface and out of reach of small children.
The number one fire prevention tip from the Wizard is to have Dryer vent cleaning service performed regularly. Dryer vent cleaning prevents dryer fires, reduces energy expenses, extends the life of the dryer and improves dryer performance.
