Lint Alert Dryer Safety Alarm

Some 30,000 home fires are caused every year by dryer vents being clogged by the lint they exhaust.
Included in these home fires is a number of deaths which are related to the home fire and clogged vent.
New to the market is the Lent Alert Dryer Safety Alarm.
With this device a homeowner is notified when the amount of land exceeds the normal amount.
The advertisement says you can save yourself from being one of the dryer fire statistics.
This product just makes sense to me as a traditional air duct cleaner will be called to clean dryer vents a good percentage of the time.
In my experience of cleaning dryer vents I have noticed if your run is over 5 feet in length the amount of debris that accumulates increases exponentially.
There was one customer I worked with who had a 40 foot dryer vent run.
You simply wouldn't believe the amount of debris that was removed from that vent.
It was enough to fill two large garbage bags full of dryer vent lint.
The customer had trouble with their dryer at the time which kept shutting off during the middle of the cycle.
If they would've had one of these alarms they would have been notified what exactly the problem was and could have called a service provider accordingly.
Luckily for them they were using an old model clothes dryer so the amount of heat build up was less than current models.
As the owner of an air duct cleaning business I certainly don't see any reason why you should not include this as an offering to your customers.
First off, you have the ability to help them avoid a common fire hazard within their home.
Secondary, you have a quality product which you can offer your customers which will in turn improve the revenue for your company.
Either way I think it is a smart fit for your business.
