ask about the availability of these discounts and whether the insurer offers
them.

insure your home, life or health with the same company that covers your
car.

Close the Door on Dryer Fires for Homeowners Insurance
Dallas, Texas Homeowners Insurance - You could be heating up
more than
clothes in your laundry room. According to
the U. S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, there are an estimated 15,500
dryer fires annually, resulting in nearly $100
million in damage.
The most frequent causes of these fires are
improper ventilation and/or poor
maintenance, which allow lint to accumulate.
When lint covers heaters, switches and
motors in the dryer, fires can result.
Tips
According to the National Fire Protection
Association, there are some things you can
do to help prevent dryer fires:
• Avoid leaving the dryer running when
way from your home
• Clean the lint trap after every use.
• Don’t dry oily rags in your dryer
• Don’t operate the dryer without a lint filter
• Ensure that the dryer is plugged into an
outlet suitable for its electrical needs.
• Keep the dryer area free of combustibles
such as clothing and boxes.
Adequate ventilation is key to not only the
safety but the performance of your dryer as
well.
The dryer duct should vent directly
outdoors, not into an attic, crawl space or
indoors. Ducts should be kept free of lint and
combustible debris to prevent a fire from
spreading outside of the dryer.
Use only metal dryer ducts. Plastic ducts
can collapse, causing blockage and lint
buildup within the dryer. Plastic ducts may
ignite or melt, and will not contain a fire
within the dryer.
Follow the manufacturer’s suggestions
on the length of ducting you should use,
since appliances are tested and certified
according to certain specifications. Make
sure to consult your owner’s manual for more
information.
Hot spots
While there are no sure signs that your dryer
may catch fire, the following are some
possible warning signs of trouble:
• Clothes, especially towels or jeans,
• take a long time to dry
• Clothes are hotter than usual at the end
of the cycle.
• The flapper on the vent hood won’t open
when the dryer is on.
Consider having a professional disassemble
your dryer to clean the lint and debris
covering the heaters, switches and motors in
your dryer and help prevent fires from
occurring.
