(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 12, 2010 ) Palm Beach, FL – According to Wizards across the nation, dryer vent cleaning is often the solution for consumers who notice that their dryer is taking longer to properly dry clothes. “Many of my customers think this means their clothes dryer is getting old, so they are not concerned by the increase in drying time,” said Horation Chiorean, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Palm Beach, FL.

October is National Fire Prevention Month when Wizards across the nation join the NFPA, the American Red Cross, the Consumer Protection Agency and other organizations to promote public awareness on dryer fire prevention. Unfortunately, in spite of all their efforts, clogged dryer vents continue to be the number one cause of dryer fires.

Plantation, FL: Four dryer fires in four weeks led officials to distribute photos of burnt clothes dryers. Dryers were running while homeowners were out. If the gaping black holes of the burned out appliances could talk, they would describe thousands of dollars in damages. Lint filters should be cleaned after each load and the dryer duct should be cleaned periodically. As flammable dryer lint becomes electrically charged it can easily ignite with high dryer temperatures. Overloading a dryer causes the motor and wires to overheat, igniting lint that accumulates in the dryer cabinet. Annual dryer vent cleaning and inspections are recommended to check for worn wiring that can short out. Treat your dryer like a child; never leave it unattended when running.

Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, a tragedy that occurred in 1871. The devastation caused more than 250 deaths and left over 100,000 people homeless as more than 17,000 buildings were destroyed. The 2,000 acre fire began on October 8 and did most of its damage on the 9th.

Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alteration specialists in the U.S. with nearly 60 franchisees in major markets. “Show your spirit during National Fire Prevention Month by having your dryer vent system inspected,” said Chiorean. “Eliminate a fire hazard and enjoy peace of mind that your clothes dryer is operating safely and efficiently.”
