Farmington, MN (PressExposure) April 06, 2010 -- Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent clothes dryer fires. Dryer vent cleaning also reduces energy costs and prevents pre-mature appliance breakdown. Over 15,000 dryer related fires are reported annually. Carl Hein, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in the Twin Cities area is making a big difference in his community by educating his customers about dryer vent cleaning and proper maintenance.

Carl advises his customers to be sure their dryer vent system is up to code by replacing any plastic or foil vent systems with semi-rigid or solid metal venting. Consumers should be sure to clean the lint trap after every load and be very careful not to store flammable items in the laundry area. “I receive emails and letters from customers thanking me for caring enough to point out these issues,” said Hein.

Carl makes sure his customers understand the warning signs to watch our for, including clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the lint screen, dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle, clothing having a moldy smell after a dry cycle, and clothing being very hot after a dry cycle. “Too many people believe their dryer is taking longer due to age and wear,” said Carl. “This is the most commonly noticed sign of lint build-up in the dryer vent system and it indicates a serious fire hazard.”

Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in dryer fire prevention and “urgent response” dryer and vent maintenance, repair, replacement and alterations. DVW services keep dryers functioning properly, prevent dryer fires and reduce energy costs. Carl Hein services the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Edina, Bloomington and neighboring cities and communities.
