Glastonbury Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Talks about Dryer Safety Features

Dryer add-ons and indicator lights are a step in the right direction; however, proper dryer vent installation and good dryer maintenance are the only way to ensure maximum safety and efficiency










Glastonbury, CT – The Glastonbury Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard has one main focus and that is preventing dryer fires. When asked about indicator lights and other dryer features designed to alert users of an air flow problem, John Moffat, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard makes sure his customers understand that certain dryer add-ons are a step in the right direction, but the only way to be safe is by having a dryer vent inspection and maintenance service performed by a qualified professional.

Over 17,000 dryer fires happen each year and most are caused by lint accumulation in the dryer vent system. Proper dryer vent installation followed by regular dryer vent cleaning will improve dryer performance, extend dryer life, increase dryer efficiency and eliminate a fire hazard.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission investigated two types of indicator lights for clothes dryers. One would be triggered after a certain number of loads of laundry; the other would be an “abnormal operations” light linked to the thermostat.

According to the CPSC, using indicator lights may alert the owner that dryer vent cleaning service is necessary; however, the results have been inconsistent.

Dryer vent cleaning and service by the Wizard (http://dryerventrepairguy.blogspot.com/) is the best way to ensure maximum dryer safety, performance and efficiency. Though these indicator lights, or add-ons like the LintAlert, can be useful, proper maintenance is the answer.

John Moffat is concerned that people will rely on these indicator lights and take them for granted. Many people ignore the check engine light in older cars; they may do the same with the indicator light on a dryer.

Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard encourage consumers to have a complete dryer vent inspection to be sure their dryer is operating as safely and efficiently as possible. Professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning are the best way to ensure dryer safety.

Dryer Vent Wizard is the most reliable dryer vent cleaning company in Connecticut, with three Wizards who manage professional dryer exhaust technicians across the state. John Moffat serves the Hartford area, Glastonbury, Manchester, Farmington and nearby cities and communities. Visit http://glastonburyct.dryerventcleaningnow.com/ to learn more.
