Increased drying time and poor dryer performance is almost always caused by a clogged dryer vent…the good news is maintenance service by the Wizard will have the old dryer running like new again!
Poorly vented dryers are the leading cause of over $17,000 dryer fires. Poorly installed dryer vent systems are also a contributor. These same problems are often the cause of increased drying time and poor dryer function. Most appliances that begin to function improperly require a service technician or are just worn out. Clothes dryers are the exception to this rule. Most dryer problems are the result of poor ventilation, not aging, wear or malfunction.
The primary function of the dryer vent system is to carry heat and moisture from the dryer drum to the vent outdoors. Many people believe it is should remove dryer lint as well; however, most lint trapped in the dryer and dryer vent system remains there until it is cleaned out. The Wizard (http://ctbloomfield.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) provides professional dryer vent cleaning service to restore airflow so even an older dryer will perform like new again.
Even an older clothes dryer should be capable of drying a load of laundry in less than one hour. The older style DIY dryer vent kits made of vinyl or flexible foil were once popular because they were inexpensive and easy for the homeowner to install. This type of dryer exhaust duct is no longer acceptable for use. Dryer vent systems should be made of solid metal or aluminum. Dryer Vent Wizard only installs dryer vent systems that meet or exceed current safety standards
