Reports show the average home spends $1900 a year on energy costs; many homeowners are unaware of how much they can save with proper dryer and dryer vent maintenance
Grand Blanc, MI -Technicians who work for Dryer Vent Wizard in Genesee County, Michigan are working to educate consumers on dryer fire safety. Home owners who think its normal for their dryer to take more than one cycle to dry clothes are in danger of starting a fire due to lint clogging their dryer vents. They advise their customers that lint accumulation in dryer vents causes a dryer to over heat and to run inefficiently, causing fires and increasing energy usage.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes is the largest chain of dryer vent specialists in the U.S. Besides specializing in dryer vent maintenance, they also provide free videos, brochures and dryer vent safety tips for consumers who visit their site at http://www.dryerventwizard.com
Mike Zalac, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Southeast Michigan was recently interviewed. He explained, "With rising energy costs, our role is to educate consumers as we provide dryer vent solutions. We are committed to dryer fire prevention in our community as we educate our customers on how to properly maintain their dryer vent systems."
It is important that dryer vent systems be cleaned annually and that they meet city, state and manufacturer codes. Plastic or foil vents need to be replaced with semi-rigid or solid metal venting. Lint traps should be cleaned before and after drying each load of laundry and lint screens should be cleaned with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners.
"I'm so glad I called Dryer Vent Wizard when my dryer wasn't performing as well as I thought it should," said one happy customer. "I thought it was just wearing out and that it was normal for it to take 2 cycles to get the clothes dry. Mike showed me where the problem was and explained that lint is very combustible. Mike saved my home and family from what could have been a devastating fire."

Mike provides dryer vent cleaning services and educates his customers on fire safety and dryer vent maintenance
Lapeer, MI -. Mike Zalac traded his former carreer for a logo-ed uniform to own and operate a Dryer Vent Wizard, Safe Homes, Dry Clothes (DVW) franchise in Southeast, Michigan.
DVW specializes in dryer vent maintenance to prevent dryer fires, keep dryers functioning properly and provide energy savings through proper dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alterations.
When Mike decided he didn't want continue his present career and he wasn't ready to retire, he looked into franchising. Having many years of business related skills behind him gave him a wealth of experience on which to draw. He researched several concepts and found Dryer Vent Wizard Dry Clothes, Safe Homes. Mike liked their unique name and he found the concept intriguing.
"I liked that DVW provided much needed solutions to consumers' dryer and dryer vent problems which ultimately prevents dryer fires," says Mike. "I find this career very rewarding when I arrive just in time to correct fire hazards and educate my customers on proper dryer vent cleaning and maintenance."
According to Mike, consumer response to DVW has been positive, although a big part of what he does is educating. "When consumers find their dryer taking more than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it is normal and the dryer is old and worn out when the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent, causing the dryer to work inefficiently and become fire hazard," says Zalac.
In an effort to make consumers more aware, Mike shares these maintenance "tips" to prevent dryer fires and keep dryers running efficiently. He urges consumers to be sure their dryer vent systems are up to code with the city, state and manufacturer, to replace any plastic or foil vents with semi-rigid or solid metal venting material, to keep lint trays clean and free of lint between loads, wash lint screens every few months to remove residue build-up from fabric softeners, and to have the dryer vent system professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year. Mike also makes sure all his customers know not to leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running.
Mike advises his customers to watch for warning signs of potential fire hazards, like clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the screen between loads, dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle and clothes having a moldy smell after drying.

Great Dryer Vent Cleaning!
The following was sent to about 175 people by a satisfied customer:
"Okay, you are going to think I am crazy e-mailing you about your dryer - BUT - when we moved here over a year ago, I finally got a great set. Only when we used it, I noticed that after a few months I had to run it twice to get my loads dry. (I thought nothing of it b/c it seemed no matter where I lived, my dryers ran twice on heavy loads.) I just figured this is how it is with all dryers."
Well, the past few weeks, we have had to run our dryer even up to 4 times on a heavy load. There was even a "moldy" type smell in our towels. I called a dryer repair guy b/c I figured the heating element was going out. He told me that on dryers, if it is drying, even a little, it is more likely to be my dryer vent. He told me to hire someone to come and clean the vent that goes through the house.
I thought I could do it myself, so I went downstairs and pulled the vent out of the wall to find an extreme amount of build-up!!! It was damp and had that "moldy" smell that my towels have had. I tried to clean it out and the more I reached in the more clogged it was. I knew if it was clogged here, that the inside pipe had to be backed up.
I called a place called "Dryer Vent Wizard". It runs normally about $150 to come out, inspect and clean. That is for a normal 20 foot pipe. Ours ran 36 feet and was up and down and all around - causing our vent build-up. Even though it was over $150 for our case to clean it, let me tell you IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!
After he cleaned it out filling a 5 gallon tub full of lint, I ran my dryer for a load and it dried PERFECTLY in a shorter amount if time. I have honestly NEVER had my clothes dry so fast. It seems like common sense that the vent needs to be cleaned, but thinking about it, this house was never cleaned in over 20 years and no other house I ever lived in was ever cleaned - so it was never my dryers, but probably my vents all along!!!
Anyway, they charge $39 to come out and take a look. (For a membership type thing of like $29 they will come out once a year and not charge the $39 fee.)
I HIGHLY recommend it!! Just thought I´d pass this along! We spend time and money on ‘big purchases' like our oil changes, etc. - why not keep other important things maintained? Not to mention it is a huge fire hazard!
