Dryer Vent Cleaning Meridian Wizard Suggests Fall Dryer Maintenance Tips to
Ensure a Safe Winter
With the frequency of residential fires increasing during the fall and winter months the Wizard is in action promoting public awareness of the importance of dryer maintenance
Meridian ID – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Meridian Wizard offers sound advice and dryer maintenance tips for homeowners and business owners with clothes dryers. Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually and most of them are the result of lint accumulation in the dryer vent system.
The frequency of home fires increases during the fall and winter months. People are applying additional weather stripping, insulation and other energy saving upgrades to their home, and then closing it up tight to keep the cold out. For this reason, all fuel burning appliances, including gas dryers, should be inspected to be sure they are properly vented to the outdoors to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Unfortunately, dryer maintenance is often neglected or forgotten.
Here are some dryer maintenance tips from the Wizard (http://meridian.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) to ensure safety and dryer performance
• Clean the lint screen after every load of laundry
• Replace flexible foil or vinyl dryer vent systems with solid metal dryer ducts
• Make sure the dryer vent system meets city, state and manufacturer’s safety standards
• Be careful of what is stored in the laundry area. Keep combustibles well away from heat producing appliances
• Check the dryer vent cover outside often for lint accumulation, blockage or damage
• Never leave the house or go to sleep when the dryer is operating
Professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service are the best ways to prevent dryer fires and improve dryer performance. Poorly vented clothes dryers lead to several hazards including fire, mold and mildew, carbon monoxide and substantially higher energy bills. There are many great benefits to having professional dryer maintenance by the Wizard.
