Dryer Vent Cleaning Derry Wizard Provides Fire Prevention and Money Saving Tips



Charlotte, NC – Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum dryer performance to prevent fires and save energy. Clothes dryers are among the most expensive appliances to operate. Since there is no such thing as an energy star clothes dryer, it is important to properly maintain the appliance to keep it operating efficiently.

Poorly vented dryers can increase energy costs by up to $300 per year. When lint buildup in dryer ducts is left unchecked, the dryer works overtime to get laundry dry. As drying time increases, so does energy usage. Eventually, the overworked dryer overheats and causes a fire.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Mecklenburg County advises all his customers that dryer vent cleaning is necessary appliance maintenance. “The most common sign that you need you dryer vent cleaned is when drying time increases,” said Lavalle. “Contrary to popular belief, this is not a sign of appliance wear. Even an old clothes dryer will work efficiently if it is getting proper air flow through clean dryer vents.”

Another cause of dryer fires and dryer inefficiency is inferior dryer vent systems. Proper dryer vent installation is critical to dryer safety and efficiency. “Dryer vents should be as short as possible and contain few bends and turns which can inhibit venting and cause lint to build up and clog the vent,” said Lavalle. “Smooth inside is also important. Dryer vent sections should be joined with foil tape instead of sheet metal screws which protrude to the inside, catching and trapping lint.”

Dryer Vent Wizard professionally inspects and cleans clothes dryers and dryer vent systems for homeowners and in commercially-owned buildings. Poorly maintained dryer vents are fire hazards and cause clothes dryers to cost substantially more to operate.
