(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 15, 2011 ) Hicksville, NY -- The Dryer Vent Cleaning Hicksville Wizard warns residents in his community about the danger associated with poorly vented clothes dryers. Dryer lint accumulation is the leading cause of dryer fires. Dryer vent cleaning can eliminate a fire hazard while improving dryer performance and efficiency.

Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Nassau County specializes in dryer vent systems while educating his customers about dryer fire prevention through proper maintenance.

A dryer fire that occurred last Christmas prompted a press release from the Fire Marshal’s Office containing tips to keep dryers operating safely and efficiently. The tips they provided contain the very same message that Wizards across the nation are promoting:

• Have clothes dryers and all appliances professionally installed and serviced regularly

• Do not use the dryer without a lint filter

• Keep the lint filter clean and remove lint that has accumulated around the dryer drum

• Replace vinyl, plastic and flexible foil dryer ducts with solid metal venting

• Have professional Dryer vent cleaning performed annually and make sure the vent flap opens when the dryer is running

• Gas dryers should be inspected to be sure the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks

• Make sure the proper plug and outlet are used for electric dryers

• Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and do not overload the dryer

• Keep the surrounding area free of flammable items and chemicals

• Do not place items in the dryer that are soaked with flammable substances; line dry these items

• Do not go to sleep or leave your home with the dryer running

Dryer Vent Wizard is the nation’s largest dryer vent service provider with nearly 60 franchisees in the U.S. Bob Dougherty serves residents and business owners in Nassau County, Hicksville, Old Westbury and neighboring cities and communities.
