Courtesy alert for blower recall for fire hazard

Keep your eyes open. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has issued a recall for blowers manufactured by Interex due to a potential fire hazard. Recalled blowers include those sold by B-Air, BlueDri, BlueDri Pro, and Soleaire. These blowers will most commonly be found in the water restoration industry. If the outlet on the affected blower becomes overloaded or short-circuited, it could overheat, posing a fire hazard.

GreenTech Heat does not manufacture or sell any blowers or fans affected by this safety recall.

While some of the affected blowers appear similar to the GreenTech Heat AM4000, none of our air movers are affected by the issue where the utility outlets on the side of the blowers are not protected by a circuit breaker. The GreenTech Heat AM4000 does not provide a second power outlet to eliminate the possibility of excessive power draw, tripping jobsite breakers, and overheating. We have designed our equipment to safely and reliably run in the temperatures found in heat treatments.

We present this notice in the interest of everyone’s safety. Many companies mix, match, and mingle equipment from a number of vendors, and may unknowingly have some of these blowers in their equipment mix. Additional information can be found at the CPSC website.

Need some powerful air movers? Give us a call today. Our AM4000 moves more air and continues working at higher temperatures than the competition.

GreenTech Heat technology is also 100% effective for bed bugs, cockroaches, termites, and all other insects. GreenTech Heat equipment allows you to self-treat with heat on your schedule and as your needs demand. Our certified training lets you do it right and do it safely the first time. Heat safely kills insects and bacteria, viruses, and mold everywhere they may be found in a single one-day treatment. Call us at 888-699-3944. We have bed bug heaters for sale to get started with heat today.

What People Say

The use of non-chemical measures such as heat treatments has distinct advantages. This method does not have many limitations with respect to the number of items treated and the area to be treated. There are no chemical residues to consider and, compared to gas fumigation of areas, margins for safety are considerably greater. The area treated can include a number of items (garments and furniture) that would otherwise increase the complexity of other control measures, the time required to treat these items, and the potential for control failure.
