Myth: When the dryer take two or more cycles to get clothes dry it is time to buy a new dryer
Coral Springs, FL – The Coral Springs Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard has the solution to increased drying time. Dryer vent cleaning is not only the way to prevent dryer fires, but it improves dryer performance and efficiency. Failure to clean dryer vents leads to significantly higher energy bills and a fire hazard.
Horatio Chiorean, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, said, “Many people believe their clothes dryer is wearing out when it begins to take longer to dry each load. This is a myth. Increased drying time almost always indicates an air flow problem caused by lint accumulation.”
According to service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.palmbeachfl.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), the average load of laundry should take 45 minutes to dry. This is true for most clothes dryers. Even older dryers should be capable of drying a load in less than one hour.
Many people expect a clothes dryer to begin losing efficiency as it ages. According to Horatio, this does not happen. “There are things that can go wrong with a clothes dryer causing it to malfunction but increased drying time is almost always an air flow problem and a fire hazard. Dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation will promote maximum dryer performance.”
Other signs of restricted air flow include clothes coming out of the dryer with a moldy smell or if they are hot to the touch, the outside of the dryer is hot when it is running or the laundry area becomes very hot and humid, no visible lint on the lint screen after a cycle, or the dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle. All these symptoms indicate a dryer vent problem.
Horatio Chiorean has over 10 years experience in the appliance industry as a research engineer for a major appliance company. He purchased his Dryer Vent Wizard Franchise because of the great need to increase consumer awareness on the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation.
