Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Suggests Tips for Safe Dryer Vent Installation
Mistakes often made by a homeowner or handyman prove to be devastating…the Wizard explains
Littleton CO – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Littleton Wizard warns DIY homeowners about installing dryer vents. Though dryer vent installation is a simple concept, there are some common mistakes that can contribute to dryer related hazards. Most dryer fires are caused by a clogged dryer vent; however, some are caused by poorly installed dryer vents or those constructed of inferior material.
The Littleton Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard only uses high quality materials to ensure safe dryer vent installation. Dryer vent systems installed by the Wizard comply with recommendations and requirements set forth by one or more of the following authorities: IRC (International Residential Code), Underwriters Laboratories, Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Fire Protection Association and/or dryer manufacturers.
Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.littleton.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) installs rigid metal vents for maximum safety and efficiency. Metal vents have a smooth interior finish that allows lint to pass through more easily to minimize accumulation. Metal dryer ducts are also less likely to allow a dryer fire to spread. If a spark from the dryer should come in contact with lint it will likely burn itself out before spreading. Of course, even the very best Dryer vent system requires maintenance so regularly scheduled Dryer Vent Cleaning service is necessary for all clothes dryers.
Semi-rigid metal is acceptable for transition ducts but is only intended for connecting the dryer vent system to the dryer and should not be used for the entire dryer duct run.
Professional dryer vent installation is advised to ensure maximum air flow and safety. Parts should be connected using metal foil tape, not screws, duct tape or other types of fasteners. Screws protrude to the inside and catch lint allowing it to accumulate. Foil tape can withstand greater temperature variations and seal connections properly.
Dryer vents that exceed 25 feet may need a booster fan to help the dryer run safely and efficiently. The Wizard can install a booster fan to promote proper airflow.
The Wizard can install a no pest vent cap with a low profile hood and pest proof door to help keep bugs out. The hood has a low airflow resistance to allow adequate venting while keeping pests from entering the home through the dryer vent outdoors. There are many great reasons to call the Wizard for dryer vent installation and dryer vent cleaning service.
