(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 10, 2011 ) Indianapolis IN – The stockings are hung by the chimney with care; the dryer vent is safe because the Wizard was there. But what about all the other common fire hazards in American homes? Over 80 percent of home fires are caused by auxiliary heating devices during the winter months. The Indianapolis Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard says, “Heaters are not clothes dryers! Do not put wet clothing on or near heaters.”
Glen Mayfield owns Dryer Vent Wizard, specializing in dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation service while educating customers with valuable tips tips to keep their dryer functioning safely and efficiently. Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause.
When the Indianapolis Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard visits a customerÂ’s home, his main focus is the clothes dryer; however, during the holiday season, he also likes to add some holiday safety tips as well. How sad it would be if he made the dryer vent system safe but failed to notice another hazard that could result in disaster.
Here are some safety tips from the Wizard regarding fireplaces and space heaters:
• Do not burn wrapping paper in fireplaces
• Use a screen in front of the fire place
• Be careful with fireplace decorations and be sure to keep them well away from flames
• Make sure outlets are designed to handle the load with electric heaters and do not plug anything else into the socket with the heater
• Be sure to use only the correct fuel with kerosene heaters and do no overfill them. Always refuel outside after the unit has cooled off
Again, the Indianapolis Dryer Vent Cleaning WizardÂ’s main focus is the dryer vent system, so his number one safety tip all year around is to clean dryer vents regularly, and never go to sleep or leave the house with the dryer running. The same goes for Christmas lightsÂ…turn them off before leaving the house or going to sleep.
