DIY dryer vent installation vs Hiring a Professional – A dryer vent system is fairly simple to install, but one small mistake can lead to disaster
Sunbury, OH – When the Sunbury Dryer Vent Installation Wizard is called to service a dryer vent system he usually finds one more problems. In many cases where dryer vent installation is handled by a homeowner or handyman service it can lead to several problems. A dryer vent system is fairly simple to install, but one small mistake can lead to disaster. Improper dryer vent installation, or use of incorrect materials, can cause a dryer fire.
According to the US Fire Administration, over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause. Rick Gutridge, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Ohio explains to his customers that improper dryer vent installation can also be hazardous. There are several critical errors that homeowners commonly make. Rick reveals problems with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems he inspects.
In joining efforts with the NFPA, the Wizard (www./dryerventcleaningsunbury.blogspot.com/) combines service with education to help customers minimize the risk of dryer fires. Gutridge advises residents to be sure their dryer vent system is properly installed to meet current safety standards. Regular dryer vent cleaning service is also very important.
Vinyl or flexible foil dryer vent systems should be replaced with solid metal ducts to promote maximum air flow. Pieces should be joined with heat tape, not screws that protrude to the inside and trap dryer lint. The dryer duct should be as short and straight as possible. 45 or 90 degree angles can restrict air flow and allow lint to accumulate and block air flow. Professional dryer vent installation by the Wizard ensures dryer safety and performance.
