(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 16, 2010 ) Sacramento, CA – The cost of dryer vent cleaning and professional dryer vent installation is not nearly as expensive as repairing a broken down appliance. Dryer vent cleaning extends the life of a clothes dryer and promotes efficiency to save energy. The cost of professional dryer vent installation and maintenance quickly pays for itself in energy savings alone.
Consumer awareness on energy consumption has increased drastically due to our economy, rising energy costs and environmental issues. Gina Fazil, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, a dryer vent cleaning, repair and installation company, was recently interviewed. Gina shared some great tips about energy savings in the laundry room.
Gina explained, “Cold water is just as effective in getting your clothes clean and it will help extend the life of your clothing while maintaining bright colors. It is also a good idea to use shorter wash cycles for delicate and lightly soiled items.”
Most people are not aware of how much energy can be saved by turning down the water heater. “Your water heater works constantly to maintain a tank full of hot water, day and night,” said Fazil. “Turning it down just 10 degrees will reduce energy consumption. This is also a great safety precaution if there are children in the home who can be seriously burned when the water is running too hot.”
Other tips Gina shared included insulating your plumbing and water heater, and repairing leaky faucets. If you should need to replace a faucet, choose one with water and energy saving features.
Finally, the most important information Gina shared was the importance of dryer vent cleaning and professional dryer vent installation to meet current safety standards. “I find a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems that I inspect,” said Gina. “It only takes one of these problems to create a serious fire hazard or cause your dryer to cost substantially more money to operate.”
