(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 22, 2011 ) Queens, NY – Dryer vent cleaning and lint removal helps to save energy and prevent dryer fires. “Lint build-up is the stuff of nightmares,” says the Dryer Vent Cleaning Queens NY Wizard. “Without proper maintenance, the dryer vent is a potential fire hazard that too few homeowners are aware of.”
John Ryley owns Dryer Vent Wizard, specializing in dryer vent service and customer education. "It's hard for people to think of their clothes dryer as a fire hazard," said Ryley. “Clothes dryer fires account for over 17,000 fires each year, according to the National National Fire Data Center. Failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause.”
According to the Queens NY Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, many people are still using the older style dryer vent systems made of vinyl, plastic or flexible foil. "Most people don't realize that New York State Building Codes changed in 1999 to indicate that all dryer vent systems should be made of a rigid metal piping, because of the fire hazard," said Ryley. Dryer manufacturers also recommend rigid metal piping and annual dryer vent cleaning to remove lint build up and prevent dryer fires.”
The lack of awareness concerning this issue is simply because dryer vent systems are often out of sight and out of mind. "Homeowners want the laundry area to be out of sight and near bedrooms and bathrooms," Ryley said. "While no one wants to drag laundry up and down the stairs, the reality is that longer venting cause dryers to work harder, take longer to dry clothes, and use more energy, creating a fire hazard."
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), any dryer vent system over 25 feet is considered a fire hazard and installation of a booster fan is recommended. This helps dryers function safely and more efficiently and is one of the services DVW provides.
Ryley believes the solution to the problem is creating consumer awareness of the importance of maintaining dryers and dryer vent systems. Dryer Vent Wizard is the only national franchise to specialize exclusively in full service dryer venting solutions. Visit http://www.dryerventcleaningqueensny.com/ to learn more.
