Safety Alert

There is a hidden fire hazard in almost every home...and it is in the dryer!

The consumer product family safety commission estimates that over 15,000 clothes dryer related fires occur every year.

Over time, lint that sneaks past your clothes dryer's filter collects both in the dryer cabinet and in the dryer vent duct. As lint build-up continues, over-heating can occur, leading to the possibility of a duct fire.

Your dryer manufacturer suggests that the dryer and its venting system be cleaned at least once a year.

Long drying times are often an indicator of a clogged vent system. Because the vent becomes clogged, lint collects on top of the heating element, and the heat from the element can ignite the lint and initiate a fire.

Cleaning your dryer and its venting system may pay for itself by lowering your overall service and utility costs, and by extending the life of your dryer.

Washing machine hoses are one of the most neglected but potentially damaging maintenance items in a home. Because they are out of sight, they are forgotten and give little warning of impending disaster.

Not checking your washing machine hoses is like not checking your oil. Nothing seems to be wrong until that moment when your life seems to flash in front of you... as well as the floating dresser... and the sofa table... and the family pet... all magically cascading out the front door on a burst-hose tsunami!!

If you can't remember how old your washer is or if you think its age is in the double-figures, its time to replace those hoses!!

We recommend washing machine hoses be replaced every three to five years. You should also turn off the water to the washing machine when it is not in use to prolong the life of your hoses.

This simple solution can save thousands of dollars in repairs from a flooded laundry area.

What’s the big deal? Your refrigerator works harder when the coils are dirty All manufacturers recommend cleaning the coils at least once a year to prolong the life of the appliance and to allow it to run as energy efficient as possible.

The coils act as lungs and allow the refrigerator to breathe. When the coils become clogged the compressor (the heart) labors to maintain the correct temperatures. Don’t wait until your refrigerator breaks!!
