Wizard of Shawnee Addresses DIY Dryer Vent Cleaning versus Hiring it Done

The Wizard strongly recommends professional dryer vent cleaning service; however, he will provide some tips to DIY homeowners to help minimize the risk of dryer fires caused by commonly made errors










Shawnee, KS – The Shawnee Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recommend periodic dryer maintenance service to ensure dryer safety and performance. The UL is an independent testing laboratory that establishes standards for residential, commercial and industrial electrical products and their safety.

Harold Bert, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, a dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation company is dedicated to providing complete service while educating the customer about dryer fire prevention.

According to Bert, 80% of all homes have a clothes dryer which means that there are about 82 million potential fire hazards out there. A dryer fire occurs when lint accumulates in the dryer duct and blocks airflow to result in overheating.

Bert explains to his customers that a clothes dryer requires proper air flow to work efficiently. The harder the dryer has to work to perform its job, the more energy it uses. A poorly maintained dryer vent system can make the dryer cost an additional $300 per year to operate.

Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningkansascitywest.com/) recommend professional dryer vent cleaning and inspections; however, they realize that there some do-it-yourself homeowners who might be capable with a few tips. Homeowners can buy a dryer vent brush which is a long handled, flexible tool with many great uses, like cleaning the condenser coils on the refrigerator or retrieving lost items from underneath appliances and cleaning under and behind heavy furniture like desks and bookcases.

Do-it-yourself homeowners should be aware of how critical it is to do a thorough dryer vent cleaning, accessing all areas of the dryer vent system. Those whose dryers are located on an outside wall with a very short dryer duct should be OK; however, some systems go through the roof or have bends and turns which make total access difficult. Dryer lint goes everywhere so missed spots could cause a problem. Dryer Vent Wizard has special tools and equipment to access the entire dryer duct to ensure a complete cleaning.

Harold Bert is dedicated to educating his customers to prevent dryer fires while he provides dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation services in his community. Education is a vital part of the service and Bert is happy to spend the necessary time to answer any questions his customer has, at no additional charge.
