Dryer Vent Alarm

Did you know that a clogged dryer vent could cause a fire? The Lint Alert dryer vent alarm is designed to protect your family and alert you when your dryer vent is restricted.

Protect your family from dryer fires for about 1 penny per day! The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that there are an estimated 15,500 fires associated with dryers annually.



This dryer vent alarm can be used on any brand dryer. The Lint Alert dryer vent alarm easily fits onto the back of your dryer and monitors your dryer’s airflow performance. If your dryer airflow performance drops below a safe level, the DrySafer dryer vent alarm will send out a warning signal alerting you to a potential problem in your dryer venting system.

Today, many newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside wall: in bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and hall closets. This results in longer dryer venting pipes hidden in walls and ceilings. This design increases the risk of lint accumulations inside areas that are inaccessible. The dryer has to work harder to force the air up the wall, across the ceiling to the outside exhaust hood. With Lint Alert, lint accumulations are detected before a potential disaster can occur.

No special skills are required to install this alarm. In fact, it is designed to be installed by homeowners and comes with complete instructions.

How does the Lint Alert dryer vent alarm work?

DrySafer Dryer Vent Alarm is made of two components; an Airflow Sensor connected by a communication cord to an Alarm Module. The Airflow Sensor monitors the flow of air in your dryer duct system, while the Alarm Module houses the electronics and communications system.

The DrySafer Airflow Sensor attaches to the back of your dryer exhaust pipe and monitors the airflow out of your dryer. If an obstruction in the vent line is detected, the Airflow Sensor will monitor the restricted airflow for a period of one minute. If the obstruction is not cleared in that time period, the Airflow Sensor will alert the Alarm Module and a warning signal will sound.

When an obstruction builds up in the vent line to the point that it reduces the forward airflow, back pressure is produced. This back pressure continues to build up until the Airflow Sensor responds. The Airflow Sensor then sends a signal to the Alarm Module to sound the alarm. A series of audible tones along with visual blinking LED will signal ten beeps and blinks, followed by a 60-second delay. This will repeat until the reset button is pushed or the blockage is removed.

Since the average life of a dryer is 15 years installing this dryer vent alarm will cost about 1 Penny per day.

    What Medical Problems Can Dirty Air Ducts Cause?

    If you tend to flip through those circulars that get delivered weekly in the mail, then you’re probably seen your fair share of advertisements for local air duct cleaning companies. These days, more and more air duct cleaning services are popping up all over the country, and for good reason. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution ranks as one of the highest public health concerns within the United States. In fact, the average indoor household environment is actually far more polluted than its outdoor surroundings.

    Nick Sidon is the proud owner of Nick’s Dryer Vent Cleaning, a company that offers dryer vent and air duct cleaning services to San Diego County. Dirty air ducts can cause a host of immediate and long-term medical problems. For starters, dirty air ducts can exacerbate pre-existing conditions such as asthma and allergies. Those who suffer from such ailments tend to find that when consistently exposed to poor indoor air quality, their symptoms only get worse. Dirty air ducts can also contribute to sinus problems, coughs, congestion, sore throats, and nasal irritation. For those with sensitive eyes, dirty air ducts can take this already troubling condition and make it all the more disruptive than ever before; contact lens wearers are especially likely to have trouble when exposed to air quality that is poor. Finally, dirty air ducts can cause physical ailments that can truly disrupt one’s day to day quality of life, such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue.

    While dirty air ducts can easily take a toll on the average human being, they can also contribute to higher energy bills. The more dirty a duct system is, the less efficiently its associated heating and cooling systems are likely to operate. And although it’s hard to equate the importance of good health with the notion of saving money, those who are on the fence about air duct cleaning ought to consider the many benefits of opting for the occasional service call.

    Although the idea of spending money to have your air ducts cleaned might not sit well with you at first, consider the fact that it’s not just you who might be breathing in unhealthy household air. If you have small children with developing immune systems, then that poor indoor air isn’t going to be doing them any good. And if that’s not enough to convince you, then remember that there’s a reason why so many children, now more so than ever, are being diagnosed with conditions such as allergies and asthma. If you’d rather that your family members not join those statistics, then do your part by bringing in an air duct cleaning company as necessary.

    Poor household air can truly take a toll on your body and on the people you love. While you can’t chance the circumstances of your home, you can bring in a team of professionals for an air duct cleaning every few years, or as recommended. You can also improve your indoor environment by being diligent in your dusting habits. The more dust you eliminate, the less there will be to get sucked into your duct system and circulated accordingly.

    Remember, your home is supposed to serve as a safe haven, not as a source of illness or pain. By having your air ducts regularly cleaned, you’ll be doing your part to keep it that way.
