(EstateNewsWire.com, June 20, 2012 ) Walker MI – Due to uncertain times homeowners are doing all they can to safe money, including performing certain home maintenance tasks that they would normally hire done. The Walker Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard says dryer vent installation should be performed by a qualified service technician to ensure it meets current safety standards. A poorly installed dryer vent system can be a fire hazard, according to Greg Longe, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard.
Dryer vent wizard (http://www.dryerventwizard.com) is a nationwide company specializing in all dryer exhaust services, including dryer vent cleaning, repair, and proper installation to meet current safety codes. In a DIY economy, the Wizard is concerned with homeowners who use vinyl or plastic dryer vent kits sold at the hardware store. These kits are popular because they are cheap and easy to install; however, they are not designed for use on a clothes dryer.
Greg Longe recommends professional dryer vent installation to ensure safety and promote efficiency; however, he understands that many homeowners will do it themselves. “I would rather offer some helpful tips than see someone make a critical mistake that leads to a fire hazard,” said Longe.
Here are some dryer vent installation tips from the Wizard:
Use only rigid metal for dryer ducts; flexible foil is easily crushed; vinyl or plastic deteriorates and cracks. It also provides additional fuel to feed a fire if the dryer throws a spark.
Do not use sheet metal screws to join dryer duct sections; they protrude to the inside and catch lint. The inside should be as smooth as possible; join pieces of duct work with metal tape, not duct tape; duct tape is combustible.
Short and straight are the rule for the dryer duct route to the dryer vent outside. The less distance air has to flow, the faster it flows. Sharp turns and greater distance cause the dryer to work longer and harder to expel the hot air.
Vent the clothes dryer outdoors, not into the basement, crawl space or attic
Congratulations to the homeowner who begins with the proper dryer vent material. Vinyl or plastic dryer duct material is designed for bathroom exhaust fans, not the heat from a clothes dryer.
Dryer Vent Wizard provides an important service making clothes dryers safer and greener. Homeowners who install and maintain their own dryer vent system should at least have an inspection performed by a dryer vent specialist to be sure they have the safest and most efficient dryer vent system.
