Press Release Summary: DVW’s services prevent dryer fires, keep dryers functioning
properly and provide energy savings through dryer and dryer vent maintenance,
cleaning, repair, replacement and alterations.

Press Release Body: Jon Perry, former owner of The Bike Doctor, a Fresno bicycle
shop, traded his wrenches and grease for a service uniform to own and operate a
Dryer Vent Wizard, Safe Homes, Dry Clothes (DVW), franchise in The San Joaquin
Valley.

When Perry left the cycling industry he spent time raising his family. He still had
the passion to serve others with a burning desire for customer service. With
successful programs already in place, he looked into franchising to promote his goal
to serve others. Having previously been an owner/operator of The Bike Doctor, it
gave him a wealth of experience on which to draw. He researched several concepts and
found Dryer Vent Wizard Dry Clothes, Safe Homes. Despite the unique name, Perry
found the concept intriguing.

“I liked the fact that DVW provided the opportunity for me to serve others and to
give back to the community. Being able to help a homeowner or commercial property
save money on energy bills and especially being able to prevent potential fire
hazards is very fulfilling,” says Perry.

According to Perry, consumer response to DVW has been positive, although a big part
of what he does is still educating. “When consumers find their dryer taking more
than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it’s mechanical when the real problem is
lint accumulation in the dryer vent causing the dryer to work inefficiently and
become susceptible to a dryer fire,” says Perry.


In an effort to make consumers more aware, cyclist turned entrepreneur Perry shares
these maintenance “tips” with all his customers, to prevent dryer fires and keep
dryers running efficiently: Be sure the vent system is up to city, state and
manufacturer’s codes, replace plastic or foil vent with semi-rigid metal venting,
clean screen lint trays after each load, wash lint screens with soap and water every
few months, don’t leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running and have
vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually.

He explains the warning signs to look for: clothes taking more than one cycle to
dry, no lint visible on the lint screen, dyer repeatedly stops during a cycle and
clothes have a moldy smell when they come out of the dryer.

Jon Perry urges consumers to follow these guidelines to create a safe environment in
their home, prolong the life of their dryer and save money on energy bills. Visit
