Farmington , MN (PressExposure) June 09, 2010 -- Dryer vent installation should be performed by a professional who specializes in dryer vent systems to ensure safety and efficiency. Improperly installed dryer vent systems can be a fire hazard. Carl Hein, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of St. Paul and Minneapolis explains the importance of proper dryer vent installation to all his customers.
Clothes dryers are among the highest energy users in most American homes. "An inferior dryer vent system, or one that is clogged with lint build-up, can cause a dryer to consume an additional $300 in energy each year," said Hein. "If left unchecked, the problem will eventually become a serious fire hazard."
Dryer manufacturers now add a statement in dryer manuals warning against using flexible foil or vinyl dryer ducts. The plastic or vinyl material allows lint to build-up more quickly than the rigid metal ducts. In addition, if the dryer throws a spark, the metal duct is more likely to contain it until it burns itself out, where the plastic or vinyl just provides more fuel for the flames.
"I find a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems that I inspect," said Hein. "Most homeowners who install their own dryer vent system are not aware of the current specifications."
Dryer Vent Wizard technicians are known for their quality service and the time they spend educating consumers. "My customers appreciate this because they understand why I'm upgrading their dryer vent system," said Hein. It's not an "upsell" to make more money. It is an upgrade to increase dryer efficiency and safety."
Even a professionally installed dryer vent system needs maintenance. Annual dryer vent cleaning is recommended for anyone who owns a clothes dryer. Carl Hein serves homeowners and businesses, condos and apartment buildings, hair salons and animal shelters, commercial laundries and more. Visit dryerventwizard.com to learn more.
