Dryer fires can be especially devastating when they occur in attached multi-unit dwellings where more homes and lives are threatened
Dublin, CA – Service by the Dublin Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is the best way to avoid dryer fires and improve dryer performance. Most dryer fires could have been prevented with dryer vent cleaning service. The Wizard is reaching out to inform landlords and property managers of multi-unit dwellings of the importance of dryer maintenance to protect their investment and their tenants.
Dryer vent cleaning is often overlooked by homeowners, especially if they have never experienced a problem. Homeowners are responsible for taking care of their own home and maintaining their own appliances. But what about tenants who live in multi-unit apartment buildings and attached condos? Most renters lack the knowledge and experience it takes to properly maintain a home.
James Smith, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard wants landlords to be aware that dryer fires are especially devastating when they occur in multi-unit dwellings. It only takes one clogged dryer vent to leave several families homeless. Worse yet, more lives are at risk in apartment building fires. Residents are often injured as they try to escape through windows in upper units. Firefighters are also injured when they attempt these dangerous rescues.
Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard (http://dublinca.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) urge residents in attached condos or multi-unit buildings to talk to their neighbors about the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation. Though this is really the landlord’s responsibility many property managers do not give dryer vents a thought until they experience a loss due to a dryer fire.
According to Smith, the cost of dryer vent cleaning can quickly pay for itself in energy savings alone. Other benefits of dryer vent cleaning include extended dryer life with less chance of break-down, improved indoor air quality with better air flow and ventilation and energy savings with a more efficient system. Most importantly, dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard and promotes maximum dryer performance.
James Smith is franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent Wizard, a home service franchise based in Modesto, California. James advises property managers to have their dryer vent systems inspected to be sure they are properly installed and maintained. Dryer vent cleaning service should be performed annually and after a tenant moves out. Visit http://www.californiadryerguy.com/ to learn more.
