Dryer vent cleaning can be nutty!

This job on 12-27-10 in Charlotte's, 28210 area drove us a little "nutty" as we extracted about 8 lbs of acorns from a dryer vent.

Professional dryer vent installation by the Greater Charlotte Dryer Vent Wizard ensures maximum dryer performance while eliminating a fire hazard. Over 17,000 dryer related fires occur annually. Though failure to clean dryer vent systems is the number one cause, improper dryer vent installation and mechanical problems can also be a hazard.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Greater Charlotte explained some of the common problems he finds with older style dryer vent systems. “The flexible foil, vinyl and corrugated plastic systems increase friction and slow down air flow,” said Lavalle. “The harder the dryer is working, the greater the chance of mechanical break-down or overheating. Dryer vent repair and maintenance can extend the life of the dryer, reduce energy expenses, and eliminate a fire hazard.”

Dryer Vent Wizard technicians specialize in all dryer exhaust issues while they educate their customers on the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation. Dave often performs dryer vent services for landlords and property managers. “Renters are less likely to be aware of the importance of appliance maintenance services like furnace or dryer vent cleaning,” said Lavalle. “This is why I urge landlords and property managers to have dryer vent systems inspected and cleaned regularly.”

“I used them on an investment property that I own,” said a local property manager. “They replaced the dryer vent hose and cleaned the vent. They did a great job and left the job site cleaner than when they found it. They were professional, friendly and arrived on time.”

Dave Lavalle is confident that he is making a difference in his community as customers often refer their family and friends to the Wizard for dryer vent services. Educating consumers while making clothes dryers safer and greener is the Wizard’s passion.

Charlotte, NC – Professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning are the top two tips on the Wizard’s list. Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard is celebrating another year of making clothes dryers safer and greener while educating consumers with fire safety tips.

Lavalle knows that the number of home fires increases during the holiday season; many are caused by holiday lights and decorations. For this reason, Dave Lavalle has added some holiday safety tips to his conversation with customers.

“Take care when bringing a live tree into your home,” said Lavalle. “A dry tree can be a serious fire hazard, quickly engulfing a home as it fills up with dangerous fumes as well. Choose a fresh cut tree. Needles should be green and flexible; not brittle and falling off. Do not keep a live tree in your home for more than two weeks and keep it watered at all times.”

Christmas trees, holiday lights and dryer vent systems have some astonishing things in common…all can be a fire hazard. Never go to sleep or leave the house with the dryer running and the holiday lights on. Avoid overloading the dryer and avoid overloading electrical sockets with too many strings of lights. Use holiday lights only as intended; some are for indoor use only, some are for outdoor use only.
