(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 29, 2008 ) Franklin, OH -The Dryer Vent Wizard franchise partners, Greg Longe and John Lynch are making an effort to increase consumer awareness of the hazards of clogged dryer vents or vent systems that are not up to code with the city, state and manufacturers, by offering free dryer vent safety check kits.

Dryer Vent Wizard’s website contains valuable information for consumers about dryer vent maintenance and warning signs to look for. Many people think it is normal when a clothes dryer takes two to three cycles to dry one load of laundry. They do not realize that this is a warning sign of a venting problem that can cause a fire. Other warning signs to look for include no lint visible on the lint screen, dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle, clothes have a moldy smell after a dry cycle and clothes are very hot after a dry cycle.

According to Dryer Vent Wizard, in addition to being a fire hazard, clogged dryer vents cost consumers $18 - $24 per month. They advise consumers to have a professional cleaning of dryer vents every year in addition to regular maintenance, to prolong the life of the dryer, save money and insure safety.

To increase awareness of dryer vent safety, DVW is offering Tips & Tools. Homeowners & community groups are encouraged to download the tips brochure and the video, “Don’t Let Your Dryer Start a Fire, Keep Your Home Safe and Sound”. Free dryer vent safety check kits that help identify dryer vent problems can also be ordered at http://www.dryerventwizard.com/ventcheck_request.htm

Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes Safe Homes is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alternation specialists in the U.S. with nearly 50 franchisees in major markets in the U.S.
