Westchester Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Reveals Unknown Warning with Gas Dryers
Like gas powered furnaces and water heaters, gas dryers can also be a carbon monoxide threat if not properly vented to the outdoors
Carbon monoxide is dangerous and deadly gas that interferes with how the body processes oxygen. It is colorless, tasteless and odorless; therefore, difficult to detect until it is too late. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea and disorientation. The dangerous gases are produced inside homes where carbon-containing fuels are incompletely burned.
Manny and Joyce Diesman, owners of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://westchester.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) are warning area residents that poorly vented gas appliances, including clothes dryers, can allow carbon monoxide into the home. Because many homes have been upgraded for energy efficiency, gas by-products, like carbon monoxide, have less chance of escaping the home. Proper dryer vent installation and maintenance is critical to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is important to be sure all combustion equipment and appliances in a home are properly installed and have adequate ventilation. Have a qualified dryer exhaust technician perform an inspection and upgrades if necessary to ensure the clothes dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
Dryer Vent Wizard does a thorough 10-point dryer vent inspection to check for holes in the dryer duct, improper venting, damaged or missing vent cap, air flow speed and over-all dryer exhaust functions. They check the entire length of the dryer duct work for lint build-up.
Dryer Vent Wizard will make necessary corrections to dryer vent systems, repairing or replacing dryer ducts and expertly routing them for adequate airflow to efficiently expel heat and moisture so tumbling laundry dries as quickly as possible. Service by the Wizard ensures that clothes dryers are operating safely and efficiently, conserving energy and eliminating a fire hazard.
