Improper dryer vent installation can decrease dryer efficiency, increase energy bills and eventually lead to a dryer fire
Rhonda Nole owns Dryer Vent Wizard, serving homes and businesses in the Greater North Bay area. Consumers who have never had a professional dryer vent inspection likely do not have the best dryer vent system. The Wizard meets many people who are using the old vinyl dryer duct material which is not designed to withstand the heat produced by a clothes dryer.
Service technicians with Dryer Vent Wizard (http://dryerventrepairsananselmo.blogspot.com/) only install dryer ducts made of rigid metal that are smooth inside to allow better air flow. The old vinyl dryer ducts create friction and hinder air flow. They tend to sag, allowing lint to accumulate in the low spots. If the dryer should throw a spark, the lint would quickly ignite and cause a rapidly spreading fire. A metal dryer duct is more likely to contain the spark until it burns itself out.
According to the Wizard, the length of the dryer duct and the route it takes to the dryer vent outside is critical. Short and straight is the rule for installing dryer vent systems. Longer dryer ducts with one or more 90 degree bends will restrict air flow.
