Denver Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Explains the Warning Signs Leading to Dryer Fires

(EstateNewsWire.com, June 28, 2012 ) Denver CO – The Denver Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard provides important maintenance to prevent dryer fires and save energy. Clothes dryers are among the most expensive appliances to operate and the most likely to cause a fire, but the real problem is not with the dryer itself. It’s the dryer vent system that needs attention according to the Wizard.

Mitchell Chesney is a CDET certified dryer exhaust technician and owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, a dryer vent cleaning service that also works to educate consumers about dryer fire prevention and energy savings.

“Many of my customers think it is normal for an older dryer to start taking longer to dry clothes,” said Chesney. “Few people are aware that increased drying time indicates a need for dryer vent cleaning service. If left unchecked, clogged dryer vents can cause overheating and eventually lead to a dryer fire.”

The Wizard provides the following warning signs of an air flow blockage in a dryer vent system:

• Increased drying time – this is the most common sign of lint build-up and reduced air flow

• Hot dryer – If the top of the dryer is hot to the touch when it is running, then it is likely that lint has built up in the dryer vents, reducing air flow

• Increased heat and humidity – It is not normal for the laundry room to be excessively hot and humid when the dryer is running. Proper air flow and a clean dryer vent system should be sending the heat and humidity to the vent outdoors

• Hot laundry – Laundry should not be hot to the touch after a complete dry cycle

• Musty smelling laundry – If clothes come out of the dryer with a musty smell, then there is a blockage in the dryer vent system

• No visible exhaust – When the dryer is running, exhaust should be seen from the vent outdoors. If the vent is not opening and allowing steam to escape, then the system is blocked

• Little or No Lint – The lint filter should be cleaned after every load of laundry. If there is very little or no lint on the screen, then the dryer vent system is blocked.

“Rarely do any of these symptoms indicate the need to buy a new dryer,” said Chesney. “Clothes dryers don’t require much to operate efficiently. Air flow is the most important function of the clothes dryer. Most dryer ailments are cured with dryer vent cleaning service.”

The Wizard is happy to provide a very important service while educating his customers about the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper installation. Mitchell Chesney serves Denver neighborhoods, Littleton, Boulder, Aurora and nearby communities. Visit http://www.dryerventcleaningdenver.com/ to learn more.
