A dryer taking too long to dry a load of laundry, rarely indicates aging, wear or the need for dryer repair service
Alexandria, VA – According to the local Dryer Vent Repair Wizard, slow drying time is rarely an indication of dryer malfunction. The problem is actually caused by a clogged dryer duct or improper dryer vent installation. Dryers are the most expensive appliance to operate and poorly vented clothes dryers use even more energy.
Doug Bittner, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Northern Virginia advises all his customers that the lint screen only traps about 60% of the lint produced by drying laundry. The rest is trapped in the dryer vent system where it accumulates and blocks air flow. Dryer vent repair or replacement of a faulty dryer duct may be necessary to reduce the amount of lint accumulation. All dryer vents will get lint build-up over time so regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning is necessary, even with a state of the art system installed by the Wizard.
The most common sign of an air flow blockage is the dryer taking longer to do its job. As the dryer labors harder and runs longer, utility bills are increased. When left unchecked slow drying time will lead to premature appliance breakdown or a dryer fire. Dryer vent cleaning is the likely cure for slow drying time. Call Dryer Vent Wizard (http://alexandria.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) for a dryer vent inspection and enjoy peace of mind knowing the dryer operates safely and efficiently.
Over 17,000 clothes dryer fires are reported each year, with failure to clean dryer vents being the number one cause. Poorly installed dryer ducts or those constructed of inferior material can also be dangerous. The Wizard is working extra hard to promote consumer awareness on the importance of dryer vent cleaning service, especially when slow drying time becomes a problem.
