More home fires occur during the fall and winter months so the Wizard increases efforts to raise public awareness on the importance of dryer vent cleaning service
San Rafael CA – The Dryer Vent Cleaning San Rafael Wizard knows that fall is a busy time of the year for many families as they prepare for a new school year, and then begin planning for the upcoming holidays. Home maintenance like dryer vent repair and service is put on the back burner during this busy season. The Wizard warns area residents that the back burner is about to overheat and cause a devastating fire!
Most home fires occur during the fall and winter months so this is a good time to schedule dryer vent cleaning service. Dryer vent repair and cleaning is especially important because the clothes dryer is among the most likely appliances to cause a fire.

Fires are not the only danger with poorly vented clothes dryers. Carbon monoxide poisoning is another threat associated with the fall and winter season. All gas appliances need to be properly maintained to be sure they are venting safely. Here are some safety tips provided by the San Rafael Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard:
Install a carbon monoxide detector near the area where the gas appliances are.
Install smoke detectors throughout the house and be sure the batteries are good.
Furnace cleaning should be performed periodically. Check with the manufacturer or refer to the service manual for recommendation of frequency.
Dryer vent cleaning should be done annually to be sure the dryer is operating safely and efficiently. A clogged dryer vent system is a fire hazard and it will cause the dryer to run longer and use more energy.
Be sure the area around the furnace, dryer, water heater and other gas appliances is not cluttered with combustible items, like cardboard boxes or flammable chemicals, like paint thinners or solvents.
Look around the house for anything that could be a fire hazard and take steps to make it safe.
Plan and rehearse an escape plan if case of fire. Be sure children understand the plan and agree on a place to meet outside when everyone gets out.
