Herndon Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Surprises Customers by Promoting Clotheslines

(EstateNewsWire.com, March 17, 2013 ) Herndon VA – The Herndon Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard surprises consumers by promoting clotheslines and drying racks. Dryer fire prevention and energy savings are a major concern with the Wizard who works to encourage public awareness of the importance of dryer and dryer vent maintenance. Dryer vent systems are the Wizard’s only specialty so why would he jeopardize his livelihood by encouraging line drying?

With more consumers becoming aware of the need to conserve energy and preserve our planet, many have learned that by line-drying their laundry they can save and average of $25.00 per month in energy cost. The automatic clothes dryer is a wonderful convenience, but it is also one of the largest energy users in American homes.

Doug Bittner owner Dryer Vent Wizard of Northern Virginia (http://www.herndon.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent service. According to the Wizard, over 80 percent of American homes have clothes dryers which use about 6 percent of residential electricity.

To explain the impact clothes dryers have on the environment, consider about half of all electrical power plants use coal and each pound of coal burned creates over 2 pounds of carbon dioxide, a global warming gas. Clothes dryers use nearly 2,000 pounds of coal each year.

Bittner is not worried about clothes dryers being replaced with clotheslines and drying racks and he certainly doesn’t recommend it. He just wants people to be aware of the energy cost associated with dryers so they will be conservative. A poorly vented clothes dryer cost even more to operate. Dryer Vent Cleaning minimizes the risk of a dryer fire and helps the dryer work more efficiently to save energy.

Clothes dryers and clothes lines both require heat and air flow to do their job. The biggest differences are convenience, energy cost, and maintenance requirements. “I’ve never seen a clothesline cause a fire!” said the Wizard.

Clothes lines require little maintenance; however, the dryer is a different story. Overtime, the most common ailment with the clothes dryer will be increased drying time. Rarely is this a mechanical problem with the clothes dryer itself. The problem is caused by lint accumulation in the dryer vent system.

Dryer vent cleaning and service by the Wizard ensures clothes dryers operate safely and efficiently, to prevent dryer fires and save energy. A well maintained dryer vent system will allow adequate air flow to dry clothes more quickly. Proper dryer and dryer vent maintenance prolongs the life of the clothes dryer, conserves energy and eliminates a fire hazard. Visit http://herndondryerventcleaning.blogspot.com/ to learn more.
