Dryer Vent Cleaners Warn Consumers about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from Faulty Dryer Vent Systems

Sept. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- Birmingham, MI -- Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that interferes with how the body processes oxygen; it can be dangerous and deadly.  Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea and disorientation.  The dangerous gases are produced inside homes where carbon-containing fuels are incompletely burned.  This is the reason that all gas dryers must be vented outdoors according to dryer exhaust technicians.

D. Benson, head of franchising for Dryer Vent Wizard, said “When gas appliances, including clothes dryers, are not properly vented, carbon monoxide can escape into your home.  Due to increased consumer awareness, homes are being upgraded for energy efficiency; therefore, the gas by-products, like carbon monoxide, have less chance of escaping the home.  Proper dryer vent installation and maintenance is critical to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.”  

It is important to be sure all combustion equipment and appliances in a home are properly installed and have adequate ventilation.  Have them checked and cleaned each year to be certain that they are working safely and efficiently.  This includes your clothes dryer.  Be sure it is venting properly and the vent tubes are not clogged with lint.  

Dryer Vent Wizard recommends annual professional dryer vent cleaning to reduce the risks associated with poorly vented clothes dryers.  In addition to carbon monoxide danger, failure to clean dryer vents can lead to a dryer fire, over work the dryer to the point of break-down, and result in higher energy bills.  Visit http://www.dryerventwizard.com for more tips on dryer fire safety and energy savings.
