Dryer Vent Cleaning Alexandria Wizard Donates Proceeds to Children’s Burn Foundation

During National Fire Prevention Month 2012 the Wizard made a positive difference for little burn victims by supporting the Children’s Burn Foundation

 

Alexandria, VA – The Alexandria Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard sold wristbands to raise funds and donated the proceeds to the Children’s Burn Foundation to observe National Fire Prevention Month in October 2012. Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association and a nationwide franchise specializing in commercial and residential dryer vent service.

Wristbands with the company’s slogan, “Prevent a Fire, Clean Your Dryer” were sold for a small donation of $5.00. The Wizard gave 100 percent of the money collected to the Children’s Burn Foundation.

More than 17,000 dryer fires are reported each year resulting in deaths, injuries and nearly $200 million in property damage. These devastating fires result in many families becoming homeless, children being badly burned, and the loss of beloved pets. Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of dryer related hazards.

The Wizard suggests fire prevention tips to help keep the dryer working safely and efficiently between regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service, like cleaning the lint filter after every load and never going to sleep or leaving the hose when the dryer is running.

The most important thing people can do is schedule a dryer vent inspection from the Wizard immediately. The dryer vent service specialist will provide an airflow analysis and show the customer the improved results when they are finished. Area residents enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer operates safely and efficiently after the dryer vent cleaning by the Wizard.

Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation.

Alexandria Dryer Vent Service Wizard Works to Increase Public Awareness

The benefits of dryer vent cleaning far outweigh the cost of service…good dryer maintenance will extend the life of the dryer, improve dryer performance, save energy and eliminate a fire hazard












Alexandria VA – The Alexandria Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is determined to get the word out about the importance of good dryer maintenance to prevent dryer fires and eliminate a number of other problems in the home. Periodic dryer vent service is critical to the safe and efficient function of a clothes dryer.

According to the Wizard, professional dryer vent service is the best way to prevent most dryer performance problems and eliminate a fire hazard. Lint accumulation restricts airflow, causing a dryer to over work, leading to increased drying time, higher energy bills, and eventually, a dryer fire. Lint is highly flammable, so all it takes is a spark from inside the dryer to start a rapidly spreading fire. Dryer vent cleaning is good dryer maintenance and the best solution.

Doug Bittner owns Dryer Vent Wizard of Northern Virginia (http://www.alexandriadryerventcleaning.com/). His dedication to educating the customer while performing dryer vent service has made a difference for area residents and business owners.

The Alexandria Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard’s list of do’s and don’ts helps the customer with dryer maintenance between annual visits. Here is the Wizard’s list:

• Clean the lint filter after every load
• Have the Wizard perform dryer vent cleaning service annually
• Don’t use plastic or flexible foil venting kits for clothes dryers
• Don’t dry clothing or rags soaked in flammable substances such as cooking oils, gasoline or dry-cleaning solvents which can emit vapors that could ignite or explode
• Read the manufacturer’s warnings in the use and care manual

Area residents appreciate the Wizard’s concern for their safety and his dedication to providing top-notch dryer vent service. Many of his new customers are referred by previous happy customers.

Alexandria Dryer Vent Repair Wizard has the Cure for Slow Drying Time

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.
