(EstateNewsWire.com, September 25, 2012 ) Frederick MD – October is National Fire Prevention Month and also the time of year when more dryer fires occur. Dryer vent cleaning is very important maintenance because the clothes dryer is one of the most likely appliances to cause a fire.
Fires are not the only danger; carbon monoxide poisoning is another threat associated with the Fall season. All gas appliances, including clothes dryers need to be properly maintained to be sure they are venting safely.
Here are some important safety tips provided by the Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard (http://www.dryerventwizard.com):
Install a carbon monoxide detector near the area where the gas appliances are and make sure it is working properly.
Install smoke detectors throughout the house and replace batteries periodically
Furnace cleaning should be done regularly; check the service manual for recommendations
Dryer vent cleaning should be done annually to be sure the dryer is operating safely and efficiently. A clogged dryer vent system is a fire hazard and it will cause the dryer to run longer and use more energy.
Be sure the area around the furnace, dryer, water heater and other gas appliances is not cluttered with combustible items, like cardboard boxes or flammable chemicals, like paint thinners or solvents.
Look around the house for anything that could be a fire hazard and take steps to make it safe.
Plan and rehearse an escape plan in case of fire. Be sure children understand the plan and agree on a place to meet outside.
Following these tips will eliminate a number of dryer related hazards while improving performance and efficiency. Slow drying time is a common sign of lint accumulation in the dryer vent system. The Wizard will perform a complete dryer vent inspection and service to ensure the dryer operates safely and efficiently.
