Columbus Day Is Also Fire Prevention Day

Forget about Columbus Day.

Okay, the sales are pretty nice and children like being off school. 

But did you know that besides  Columbus Day it is also National Fire Prevention Day? Why would such an important day have to share billing with Columbus Day? 

In fairness, Oct. 8 kicked off  Fire Prevention Week. 

In honor of Columbus Day and Fire Prevention, McCombs Supply has great sales on several replacement appliance parts.  

A leading cause for house fires is dryer venting. 

Clogged dryer vents can cause fires. 

"Clothes dryers are associated with approximately 15,600 fires annually,
resulting in 20 deaths and 370 injuries.” - Consumer Products Safety Commission

McCombs has two tips for you

Keeping your home safe is simple and affordable with  DrySafer Dryer Lint Alarm. 

DrySafer Dryer Lint Alarm is a unique device that detects insufficient airflow inside the dryer's exhaust ducts and the dryers internal lint filter housing. If the airflow in the dryer becomes restricted because of excessive lint build up, it can cause the dryer to overheat and possibly result in a fire.

DrySafer ( part number DS2015IE) was invented by an appliance repair expert with over 25 years of industry experience as a way to protect your home and prevent damage to your dryer. DrySafer Dryer Lint Alarm monitors your dryers airflow performance, alerting you to dangerous lint buildup before it damages your dryer or causes a fire. 

This device easily fits onto the back of your dryer and monitors your dryers airflow performance and takes no tools to install. 

Clogs happen when lint bypasses your dryers lint filter and builds up in your dryer venting system. Blockages can also occur when squirrels, chipmunks and birds make nests in your venting system. 

This can cause your dryer to work too hard, run longer, overheat, and even lead to a fire. 

Cleaning the lint trap after every use will only remove a portion of lint generated: some excess lint will travel into the dryer vent leading to a clog which reduces adequate airflow. 

When your dryers vent hose becomes crushed between the wall and your dryer, clogging occurs quicker, causing a safety hazard for your family.

It sell for $46.20.

How DrySafer Dryer Lint Alarm Keeps You Safe:

DrySafer Dryer Lint Alarm is a unique, patent pending device that detects insufficient air flow inside the dryer exhaust ducts, caused by this excessive lint build-up. If your air flow performance drops below a safe level, DrySafer will send out a warning signal alerting you to a problem that needs to be addressed with an appliance repair technician.

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 conduit hidden in walls and ceilings. This increases the risk of lint accumulations inside inaccessible areas. 

The dryer has to work harder to force the air up the wall, across the ceiling to the outside exhaust hood. With DrySafer Dryer Lint Alarm, lint and other vent clogs are detected before a disaster can occur. 

Detection protection starts today.

Another Preventative Tip

You should change your dryer venting regularly.

The ProFlex dryer transition duct is ideal for gas and electric dryer applications. This duct is UL2158A listed and marked for safe dryer venting and is constructed of heavy duty, fire resistant, 4 ply aluminum foil laminate that encapsulates a high density, corrosion resistant wire helix.

This forms an air tight and easy to use air duct. This duct will not support combustion.
