James Smith works to generate public awareness while he provides dryer vent installation and maintenance while offering tips to his customers to keep dryers operating safely and efficiently
(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 28, 2013 ) Livermore, CA -- James Smith has enjoyed rewarding career since starting his dryer vent service business in February, 2008. The former truck driver recognized a need to generate public awareness on the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation to prevent fires and reduce energy consumption.Altimontdryerventing specializes in dryer fire prevention and dryer and vent maintenance, repair, replacement and alterations. Professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning helps keep dryers functioning properly to prevent dryer fires and reduce energy costs.
Education is a vital part of the service and James is happy to provide vital information to help area families stay safe. When people notice their dryer taking more than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it’s mechanical when the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent causing the dryer to work inefficiently and become susceptible to a dryer fire. A clogged dryer duct is the most common cause of the problem, but improper dryer vent installation can also lead to danger.
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year, with most of them caused by failure to clean dryer vents. Other causes of dryer fires include poorly installed dryer vents or dryer vent systems made up of inferior materials such as vinyl or flexible foil.
In an effort to make consumers more aware, technologist turned entrepreneur Smith shares the following information with his customers:
• Have your dryer vent system inspected to be sure it meets current safety standards
• Have a dryer vent installation technician replace vinyl or flexible foil vents with solid metal venting
• Clean the lint filter after every load; wash with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners and dryer sheets
• Do not leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running
• Have dryer vent cleaning performed regularly
James Smith advises his customers to watch for the warning signs of restricted air-flow, including clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no lint on the lint screen after a drying cycle, dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle, clothes have a moldy smell after drying, clothing and the outside of the dryer being hot to touch after a cycle.
Customers who follow these guidelines and have their dryer vent systems maintained by a certified dryer exhaust technician can enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
