Both heat and airflow are required for a dryer to function properly. Heat without airflow leads to increased humidity in the home and a serious fire hazard
Westford, MA – The Westford Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard treats all calls as urgent because he knows that leaving the problem unchecked will eventually result in a dryer fire. Dryer and dryer vent maintenance is important for safety and efficiency. Neglected maintenance can lead to premature break down, increased energy usage, and in some cases, a house fire. Unfortunately, few people think of their clothes dryer as a potential threat.
Webb Dickson is a dryer vent service technician and owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, serving customers in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It was by lucky coincidence that he received a call from one customer who was having problems. The dryer produced plenty of heat, but clothes were not getting dry. The customer did not know what to do because the dryer was brand new and not working any better than the old one did. As she opened the window to release hot, humid air produced by the dryer, she noticed the Wizard’s van across the street and wondered if he could help. The van was clearly marked with the phone number, so she gave him a call.
Webb was dispatched to the couple’s home after completing the job for the neighbor. The first thing he noticed was the old vinyl dryer vent tube leading to the vent outside. It was completely clogged with lint. Webb explained to them how the blocked air flow created the slow drying problem and a potential fire hazard. He could not believe they hooked the old dryer duct to the new clothes dryer without even cleaning it out. Professional dryer vent installation and dryer vent cleaning by the Wizard (http://dryerventcleaningmiddlesexcounty.blogspot.com/) will eliminate the hazard and improve dryer performance.
Webb explained how the old system is not compliant with today’s safety standards. He installed a new dryer vent system with rigid metal dryer ducts to improve airflow. He explained that even an older clothes dryer should be capable of drying a load of laundry within an hour if it is vented properly.
The properly installed dryer vent system cured the problem and eliminated a potential fire hazard. Education is a vital part of the Wizard’s service and Webb’s job is not complete until the customer understands the importance of professional dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation to keep the clothes dryer operating safely and efficiently.
Dryer Vent Wizard wants consumers to be aware that age and wear is rarely the cause of longer drying times. Dryer vent cleaning is the cure for most dryer ailments. Proper dryer vent installation is also important.
