Press Release Summary: Committed to 100% Customer Satisfaction for Services, Gary
goes the extra mile and educates consumers on how to prevent clothes dryer fires

Press Release Body: Homeowners who think its normal for their dryer to take more
than one cycle to dry clothes -- think again. Lint accumulation or blockage in the
vent is a known cause of dryers running inefficiently, says Gary Collins, Dryer Vent
Wizard, (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes of Avon Lake, the largest chain of dryer vent
specialists in the U.S.

“While consumers are becoming more aware of the need to conserve energy, they are
still unaware that yearly dryer and dryer vent maintenance will help cut energy
consumption and bills,” says Collins.

The average home spends about $1900 on energy costs every year, according to
research conducted by Energy Star a program managed by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), with assistance from the U.S. Department of Energy.

“With energy costs rising, our role is as much about educating customers as it is
providing dryer vent solutions,” says Collins, whose Avon Lake franchise specializes
in dryer vent cleaning, replacing vents made of flammable material, repairing and
altering vents for residential and commercial clients.

Collins shares these maintenance “tips” to keep dryers running efficiently and
reduce energy consumption and costs:

• Be sure that dryer vent systems are up to code with city, state and manufacturer.
• Replace any plastic or foil vent with semi-rigid or solid metal venting.
• Have dryer vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually
• Clean lint traps before and after drying a load. .
• Wash lint screens with soap and water every few months to remove residue left
behind by fabric softeners.


Warning signs to look for:
• Clothes are taking more than one cycle to dry, especially jeans and towels.
• No lint visible in lint screen.
• Dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle.

“Consumers who follow these guidelines will be pleasantly surprised when they find
their clothes dryer takes less time to dry clothes and it uses less energy,” says
Collins.
