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.
Warning signs to look for: � Clothes are taking more than one cycle to dry, especially jeans and towels. � 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 Collins.
