Greg Longe, co-president of Dryer Vent Wizard (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, announced the awarding of a DVW franchise in California. Local resident and former Convenient Store Owner, Gina Fazil, who will service Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, Solano and Yolo Counties.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes is a national franchise company specializing in dryer fire prevention and “urgent response” dryer and dryer vent maintenance, repair, replacement and alterations.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration there are an average of 15,500 dryer fires in the U.S. with an approximate $88 million in property, damage 20 deaths and 370 injuries annually. “Failure to clean” was cited as the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings. Similar reports by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, (CPSC), confirm annual maintenance of dryers and dryer vents as a home safety issue lacking consumer awareness.
Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes provides “urgent response” solutions to the problem of dryers functioning inefficiently or not at all.
Founded in 2004 by David Lavalle in Boston, Massachusetts the company has awarded 50 franchises in major metro markets since franchising began in March 2005. According to Fazil, consumer response to DVW has been positive; although a big part of what she does is educate the consumer. “When consumers find 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,” says Fazil.
