Increased drying time is hardly ever an indication of a mechanical problem, but nearly always a warning of blocked airflow that can lead to a dryer fire
West Hartford CT – Professional dryer vent cleaning service by the Wizard is the most likely cure for a clothes dryer that is not working efficiently. Increased drying time is rarely caused by a mechanical problem. It is the most common warning sign of a fire hazard. Other signs of danger include the laundry room being unusually hot when the dryer is running, clothes coming out with a moldy smell and the dryer cabinet being hot to touch during operation. All of these are signs of blocked airflow which can lead to a dryer fire.
John Moffat, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://westhartford.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) explains how a dryer needs proper ventilation to operate safely and efficiently. When the Wizard arrives at a customer’s home he goes right to work and explains what he is doing. Customers enjoy friendly conversation while they learn how their dryer vent system works and how regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning will ensure safety and efficiency in the future.
Moffat explains the function of the dryer vent system from the time wet clothes are put in the dryer to the end of the cycle. As laundry tumbles in the dryer heat is applied, increasing the temperature in the drum to about 175 degrees, to evaporate the moisture and force it through the dryer exhaust ducts. The heat helps, but air flow is what really gets the clothes dry. Like clothes drying on a clothesline on a windy day, the dryer constantly blows air through the tumbling clothes. As laundry tumbles, the hot air picks up moisture which is forced into the dryer ducts leading to the vent outdoors.
In most cases, when a dryer is not performing as well as it used to then dryer vent cleaning service is necessary. The clothes dryer itself is a simple machine that rarely breaks down as long as there is adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Dryer vent installation and maintenance by the Wizard will provide the safest and greenest solution to poor dryer performance.
