Noblesville Dryer Vent Installation Wizard
Reveals Common Fatal Errors made by DIY Homeowners
The Wizard expresses his concern about homeowners who install their own dryer vent system
Noblesville, IN – Glen Mayfield owns Dryer Vent Wizard of Eastern Indiana, specializing in dryer vent cleaning and new dryer vent installation while educating the public about the danger associated with poorly vented dryers. Most dryer fires are caused by neglected maintenance, but improper dryer vent installation can also lead to problems.
The Wizard recommends everyone, even the DIY homeowner, have a dryer vent inspection to be sure it meets current safety codes. Glen is especially concerned about homeowners who install their own dryer vent system made of vinyl or plastic. He explains that the flexible foil or vinyl dryer duct kits are no longer acceptable and must be replaced with solid metal venting. The flexible foil venting can be crushed and completely block airflow. Flexible foil venting also has ridges which allow lint accumulation and cause friction inside the dryer vent tube to restrict airflow.
There are several fatal mistakes homeowners commonly make when they install dryer vent systems. Some people install a screen at the end of the dryer vent outside to keep bugs and critters out. This also allows dust and lint to accumulate and obstruct air flow. Professional dryer vent installation by the Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningindiana.com) will address the problem of bugs and rodents while allowing the dryer to vent properly.
Poorly vented clothes dryers can cost up to $300 per year more to operate. Clogged dryer ducts are a fire hazard. Professional dryer vent service by the Wizard ensures clothes dryers operate safely and efficiently.
