Dryer Vent Cleaning Rockville Centre NY Wizard says Gas Dryers can Emit Carbon Monoxide
Like any fuel burning appliance, gas dryer must be vented properly to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning
Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, advises his customers that gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat. “Many people only associate carbon monoxide poisoning with their furnace,” said Dougherty. Few are aware that poorly vented gas dryers can allow dangerous levels of carbon monoxide to enter their home.”
The snowstorm that hammered the east coast last winter prompted New York lawmakers to require everyone in the state to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. Amanda’s Law went into effect after a girl died from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2009. Dryer vents are typically installed on the outside of a home about two feet off the ground. Drifting snow can easily block the dryer vent and block air flow.
According to Dryer Vent Cleaning Rockville Centre Wizard, poorly vented gas dryers are a carbon monoxide hazard during the warmer season as well. Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum air flow to eliminate this hazard. Proper dryer vent installation is also important to ensure your dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
