The Wizard wants everyone to know that dryer maintenance is critical to safety whether using gas or electric; commercial or residential clothes dryers
The clothes dryer is a simple, sturdy appliance that will function effectively for many years. Unlike most appliances, clothes dryers should not lose efficiency as they age. Even an older clothes dryer should be capable of drying a load of laundry in less than one hour. Increased drying time does not indicate age or wear. It is a warning sign of an airflow blockage that can become a serious fire hazard if dryer vent cleaning is neglected.
Gerry Rhen, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://wilmingtonde.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) combines service with education to help his customers understand the need for proper dryer maintenance. He explains that to them that most dryer performance problems are directly related to poor ventilation. Dryer vent cleaning service will extend the life of the dryer while improving safety and performance.
Removing heat and moisture from tumbling laundry is the most important function of the clothes dryer. The dryer duct and dryer vent provides airflow to send the moist heated air outside. Contrary to popular belief, the dryer vent is not designed to carry dryer lint out of the home. About 60 percent of lint from laundry is caught in the lint screen and the rest goes into the dryer cabinet to interfere with working parts or accumulates in the dryer duct. As the moist lint sticks to the sides of the dryer vent tube it attracts more lint until it blocks airflow and causes the dryer to overheat and catch on fie.
A clogged dryer duct will make the dryer work harder and take longer to do its job. When left unchecked, the situation becomes hazardous. Lint is highly combustible and all it takes is a small spark from within the dryer to start a rapidly spreading fire. The hazard can be eliminated by calling Dryer Vent Wizard for a dryer vent inspection and evaluation. Visit http://www.dryerventwizarddelaware.com/ to learn more.
