SweepMasters Professional Chimney Services in VA Features New Safety Device to Help Keep Dryer Vents Safe and Efficient

SweepMasters Professional Chimney Services, a leading provider of dryer vent cleaning and repair services in Northern VA, continues its commitment to dryer vent safety and efficiency by offering the installation of the LintAlert® dryer safety alarm.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 15, 2012 – SweepMasters Professional Chimney Services LLC is a full service chimney sweep company and a leading provider of professional dryer vent cleaning and repair services in Northern Virginia. To further promote the importance of dryer vent safety and efficiency, we are pleased to now offer our customers the sale and installation of the LintAlert® dryer safety alarm.

"We are keenly aware of the importance of routine dryer vent cleaning in ensuring the safety and efficiency of your dryer. To assist homeowners in better monitoring the safety and efficiency of their dryer vent system, SweepMasters now offers the installation of the LintAlert® dryer safety alarm."

According to the US Fire Administration, 15,500 dryers catch fire
every year. With the LintAlert® continually monitoring your dryer's health, you'll help reduce those statistics and gain peace of mind knowing that your dryer is safe and efficient.

The LintAlert® helps improve home safety by monitoring the dryer exhaust system for problems. The onboard computer continually checks the dryer vent's airflow and tells you exactly when attention is needed. As lint naturally builds up over time and restricts airflow, LED indicators progressively illuminate to show how efficiently your dryer is operating. As the light indicators progress, the LintAlert® provides reminders when the system needs to be cleaned for best energy efficiency and safety. If the vent is not cleaned, airflow restriction can become dangerous. This could be a result of either normal lint build-up in the dryer duct, kinked or crushed dryer connection hoses, or a blockage at the exterior dryer vent hood. When this happens, an alarm is triggered to signal an alert that there is a problem that needs immediate attention.

""The addition of the LintAlert® dryer safety alarm to our portfolio of home safety and energy-saving services demonstrates our continuing commitment to helping our customers maintain and improve their home, safety and quality of life."

The LintAlert® dryer vent alarm is intended to work together with the regular inspection and cleaning of the dryer vent system to ensure its continuing safety and efficiency and is not intended to replace annual professional inspection and cleaning of the dryer vent. It does, however, let the homeowner know if there are sudden changes that require immediate service or if efficiency can be improved with more frequent cleaning.
