The Wizard explains safety device intended to alert people of air-flow restriction
Westbury, NY – According to the Westbury Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, proper maintenance is the best way to prevent dryer fires. Cleaning dryer vents reduces wear and tear on the dryer and promotes faster drying time. Because dryer vents are located out of sight, this important dryer maintenance task is often neglected.
Bob Dougherty owns Dryer Vent Wizard in Nassau County, NY. He specializes in dryer vent cleaning and installation while educating customers on the importance of proper maintenance. “The most common warning of a clogged dryer vent system is when a dryer takes longer than an hour to dry a load of laundry,” Bob explained. “Contrary to popular belief, increased drying time is not a sign that the clothes dryer is wearing out. It is a warning of an air flow problem which when left unchecked will cause a fire.”
When the Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard’s (http://www.nassaucountyny.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) customers ask him about the air-flow sensor, he explains how the safety device intended to alert people of an air-flow problem. The sensor is installed with a fitting on the dryer vent tube and a hose that is connected to a wall-mounted digital pressure sensor. LED lights on the sensor indicate the pressure levels and when they reach a point where dryer vent cleaning is required, a warning light flashes and the device beeps.
Dougherty said, “The sensor is a step in the right direction; however; studies have indicated that is not dependable enough to rely on. With or without this device, periodic dryer vent cleaning service is necessary. Annual dryer vent cleaning and inspections are recommended to be sure your dryer is operating safely and efficiently.”
The sensor is a new, innovative safety device that fits in with carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms; however, it does not replace common sense and responsibility. Dryer vent cleaning is recommended at least once a year to ensure a dryer is operating safely and efficiently.
