The Mineola Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard brings consumers peace of mind while educating them about hazards associated with poorly maintained dryer vent systems
Mineola, NY -- Dryer vent cleaning is very important maintenance to prevent dryer fires and other problems including mold and mildew damage and mechanical failure. Dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation is especially important for those who own a gas dryer. Poorly vented gas appliances can be a carbon monoxide problem.
Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, was recently interviewed. He explained how gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat. “Many people only associate carbon monoxide threats with their furnace,” said Dougherty. Few are aware that poorly vented gas dryers can allow dangerous levels of carbon monoxide to enter their home.”
The snowstorm that recently hammered the east coast prompted New York lawmakers to require everyone in the state to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. Amanda’s Law went into effect after a girl died from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2009. Dryer vents are typically installed on the outside of a home about two feet off the ground. Drifting snow can easily block the dryer vent and block air flow.
According to Dryer Vent Wizard, poorly vented gas dryers are a carbon monoxide hazard during the warmer season as well. Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum air flow to eliminate this hazard. Proper dryer vent installation is also important to ensure your dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
