Dryer Vent Installation Wizard of Nampa Warns against Using Indoor Dryer Vents

All clothes dryers should be vented to the outdoors to minimize the danger of dryer fires and carbon monoxide poisoning

Nampa ID – The Nampa Dryer Vent Installation Wizard has been asked about using indoor dryer vents. Inferior dryer vent systems including indoor dryer vents can cause problems leading to dryer fires and carbon monoxide (with gas dryers).

Mike Alder, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard strongly urges owners to vent dryers to the outdoors.

The Wizard explains the problems with the indoor dryer vent systems. They must be kept full of water to trap lint while the warm air filters into the room. They also have a duct made of flexible foil which can be accidently crushed, blocking air flow from the dryer and causing it to over heat. Like all fuel-burning appliances, gas dryers must be properly vented to the outdoors to emit gas byproducts like carbon monoxide.

Professional dryer vent installation by the Wizard helps eliminate several dryer related hazards.

There is no wrong time to have dryer vent cleaning service but spring time is the ideal time to perform this task

Nampa ID – The Nampa Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard continues his mission to spread the word about dryer fire prevention. With the spring season beginning, this is a good time to have a dryer vent inspection and service. Though there is no wrong time to have dryer vent cleaning service, spring time is the ideal time to make sure the dryer vent opening outside is secure.

Poorly vented clothes dryers are the cause of over 17,000 dryer fires each year. The Wizard often finds birds and bees nests inside the dryer vent opening on the outside of most homes. He has also found evidence of mice and other household pests. Dryer vent inspection and cleaning by the Wizard covers all the bases, from inside the dryer cabinet to the vent outside.
