Press Release Summary: Committed to 100% Customer Satisfaction for Services, Gary
goes the extra mile and educates consumers on how to prevent clothes dryer fires

Press Release Body: Homeowners who think its normal for their dryer to take more
than one cycle to dry clothes -- think again. Lint accumulation or blockage in the
vent is a known cause of dryers running inefficiently, says Gary Collins, Dryer Vent
Wizard, (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes of Avon Lake, the largest chain of dryer vent
specialists in the U.S.

�While consumers are becoming more aware of the need to conserve energy, they are
still unaware that yearly dryer and dryer vent maintenance will help cut energy
consumption and bills,� says Collins.

The average home spends about $1900 on energy costs every year, according to
research conducted by Energy Star a program managed by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), with assistance from the U.S. Department of Energy.

�With energy costs rising, our role is as much about educating customers as it is
providing dryer vent solutions,� says Collins, whose Avon Lake franchise specializes
in dryer vent cleaning, replacing vents made of flammable material, repairing and
altering vents for residential and commercial clients.

Collins shares these maintenance �tips� to keep dryers running efficiently and
reduce energy consumption and costs:

� Be sure that dryer vent systems are up to code with city, state and manufacturer.
� Replace any plastic or foil vent with semi-rigid or solid metal venting.
� Have dryer vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually
� Clean lint traps before and after drying a load. .
� Wash lint screens with soap and water every few months to remove residue left
behind by fabric softeners.

� No lint visible in lint screen.
� Dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle.

�Consumers who follow these guidelines will be pleasantly surprised when they find
their clothes dryer takes less time to dry clothes and it uses less energy,� says
