Fire Prevention Month



With Fire Season Approaching the Columbus Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is on a Mission



The frequency of home fires increases during the fall and winter months…October is National Fire Prevention Month, a great time to correct potential fire hazards in the home










 Columbus, OH – The Dryer Vent Cleaning Columbus Wizard reminds consumers to observe National Fire Prevention Month in October by eliminating fire hazards in the home. The frequency of home fires increases during the fall and winter months so the Wizard encourages residents to make sure their heat producing appliances are operating safely and efficiently.

Dryer vent cleaning is the likely cure for clothes dryers when laundry starts taking longer to dry. According to the Wizard, many people think this is a normal symptom of aging clothes dryers. “Even older clothes dryers should be capable of drying a load of laundry in less than an hour,” said Rick Gutridge, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard.

Dryer Vent Wizard (http://columbusandcentralohio.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) specializes in dryer vent service while educating consumers about dryer fire prevention and dryer efficiency. “Making clothes dryers safer and greener is what we do,” said Gutridge. “Over 17,000 dryer fires occur annually with failure to clean dryer vents being the leading cause.”

According to the Wizard, a new clothes dryer will not work efficiently if the dryer vent system is clogged with lint or improperly installed. When Gutridge performs a dryer vent inspection, there are several key things he is looking for, including type of material used, total length of the dryer duct, number of turns, the pitch and speed of air flow.

The Wizard encourages everyone to observe National Fire Prevention Month and eliminate fire hazards in the home. Clothes dryers are more likely to cause a fire than any other appliance so have the Wizard perform an inspection and enjoy peace of mind knowing the dryer is operating safely and efficiently.

With a mix of home project challenges, Gutridge feels there is no problem he cannot solve. He enjoys tackling the dryer venting issues that are so prevalent and believes he is truly making homes safer as a result of his efforts. He also enjoys building positive relationships with his customers as he provides valuable safety tips and information. Visit http://www.cleanmyvent.com to learn more.
