(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 21, 2009 ) Fort Mill, SC – At a recent workshop for homeowners, Emilie Benvegna, owner of dryer vent wizard spoke about appliance maintenance, mainly, clothes dryers. “Over 15,000 dryer fires are reported annually; most of these fires are a result of improper maintenance. Your clothes dryer is more likely to start a fire than any other appliance in your home; yet, many consumers are not aware of the importance of annual dryer vent cleaning.”

Emilie explained that the lint screen only catches about 60 percent of the lint removed from laundry. This means that nearly 40 percent becomes trapped in the dryer duct system.

Emilie said, “As lint builds up, air flow is restricted; therefore, heat and moisture are unable to escape the dryer drum. Clothes take longer to dry and your over-worked dryer is using excess energy. This is also a fire hazard.”

Emilie purchased her Dryer Vent Wizard franchise in 2006 after seven years in the construction field industry. Emilie has found the career change rewarding as she educates her customers on the importance of proper dryer vent cleaning and maintenance.

Emilie’s closing remarks really hit home for those who attended the workshop. “Your dryer vent system is also responsible for removing gas by-products from your home, if you have a gas dryer. When the ducts are clogged with lint-build up, it can cause carbon monoxide to vent into your home.

Dryer Vent Wizard recommends professional dryer vent cleaning annually. They also provide dryer vent repair, installation and inspections to be sure dryer vent systems meet current safety codes. Visit http://www.charlottedryerventlady.com to learn more.
