Paul Beum,
owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of the Blue Ridge has lived in the Charlottesville area for over 10 years. Prior to starting his dryer vent cleaning
business, he was a scientist performing cancer research at the University of Virginia. For many years he dreamed of starting his own
business and the dream became reality early in 2013.
Dryer vent cleaning is the main focus of Dryer Vent Wizard. Though it sounds like a simple concept,
cleaning dryer vents can be challenging.
Some dryer vent lines are very long, 20 feet or more, and often go down
into a crawl space or up into an attic venting through the roof. Some dryer vent cleaning jobs can be a major
undertaking.
Many people
are totally unaware of the need to keep their dryer vent line cleaned. They dutifully clean the lint screen, which
is very good and important, but they don’t realize how much lint accumulates in
the dryer vent line in spite of keeping the lint filter clean. In most cases when the dryer is not working
efficiently the problem is caused by lint accumulation blocking the dryer ventline. When hot air cannot escape the
dryer works harder, runs hotter and uses more electricity. Overheating can cause damage to both the
dryer and the clothes in the dryer. When
left unchecked, this can lead to a dryer fire.
Over 15,000
dryer fires are reported each year with failure to clean dryer vent lines being
the leading cause. Regularly scheduled
dryer vent cleaning reduces the risk of having a dryer fire while improving
dryer performance.
Dryer Vent
Wizard cleans, repairs and installs new dryer vent systems with safer,
code-compliant materials. They can also
reroute the dryer vent to shorten the distance and help the dryer work more
efficiently.
Customers
notice faster drying time and reduced energy bills after service by the
Wizard. The technician demonstrates the
increased air speed which is a sure sign the dryer works more efficiently.
Paul Beum
loves his job and enjoys helping people make their homes safer through proper
dryer vent installation and maintenance service. Dryer Vent Wizard performs work only on dryer
vent systems and they have the expertise to solve any problem you may have with
your dryer vent line. Other companies
will offer dryer vent cleaning as one of the services they perform, but they
lack the special equipment to do the job efficiently. Dryer Vent Wizard keeps up to date with
current safety standards for dryer vent systems and they know which dryer vent
materials comply with building codes.
Dryer Vent Wizard provides commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning, dryer vent repair and new dryer vent installation. Service by the Wizard ensures the dryer operates as safely and efficiently as possible. Customers include homeowners, apartment and condominium managers, and businesses that use clothes dryers like pet groomers, hair salons, assisted living facilities and more.
