Dryer vent cleaning should be top priority on everyone’s list of seasonal home maintenance tasks
Glastonbury, CT – The Glastonbury Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard reminds residents to check their dryer vent, on the outside of their home, to make sure it is not damaged or clogged with dryer lint. If there is damage owners will often notice is evidence of birds, insects or rodents inside the dryer vent opening.
According to John Moffat, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, dryer vents can get damaged and lead to other problems in the home. During the winter months, small animals will find the warm space inviting as they happily move in and set up housekeeping. Dryer vent cleaning service will remove this problem and eliminate one opening where pests can enter the home.
The dryer vent cover should be replaced if the hood is cracked, surrounded by mold and moss or the caulk around it is deteriorating. This allows outdoor air into the home, causing the heat and AC unit to operate inefficiently. Repairing or replacing the dryer vent and properly sealing the opening will save money on utility bills and keep pests out.
Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard (http://dryerventrepairguy.blogspot.com/) are on a mission to increase pubic awareness of the necessity of professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service. Over 17,000 dryer related fires occur each year, with most of them caused by failure to clean dryer vents. Poorly vented gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide risk.
John Moffat encourages residents to have a dryer vent inspection to be sure the dryer duct is properly installed according to city, state and manufacturers safety standards. Those who have never had a professional dryer vent inspection could be at risk. The Wizard finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems he inspects.
