Dryer Vent Cleaning Oceanside New York Wizard Answers Questions about Air-Flow Sensors
An Airflow sensor is a safety device for clothes dryers designed to warn owners about lint accumulation causing airflow restriction
Bob Dougherty owns Dryer Vent Wizard in Nassau County, NY. He specializes in dryer vent installation and dryer vent cleaning while educating customers about 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 can become a fire hazard.”
Some people have asked Bob about the air-flow sensor, a safety device designed to alert people of an air-flow problem with their dryer. 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.
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Oceanside NY Wizard gives his opinion, “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, dryer vent cleaning is necessary maintenance.”
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.
