There is no wrong time to have dryer vent cleaning service performed, but many people will get it done before wintertime to prevent several hazards including dryer fires and carbon monoxide (with gas dryers)
West Chester, PA – The West Chester Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard recommends making annual dryer vent cleaning service a priority. He suggests adding this important task to the fall maintenance schedule to improve dryer performance and prevent dryer related hazards. Clogged dryer vents are the leading cause of dryer fires and gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat.
Gerry Rhen, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard recalls several dryer fires that that may have been prevented with dryer vent cleaning service. A pregnant mother of two was hospitalized and the family was left homeless. Another dryer fire caused major smoke damage throughout the home.
Though these fires did not occur in the Wizard’s neighborhood, he was still saddened to hear about them.
