Why Buy a Dryer Vent Booster Fan?


by DoItYourself Staff

Dryer vent booster fans are devices that help remove lint and exhaust out of the house faster by increasing the air circulation in the duct that travels from the dryer to outside of the home. It is a good idea to check the dryer vent to make sure air is moving through the duct properly. Dryer vent booster fans help to increase the speed at which a dryer works, which can cut down on the cost of electricity as well as reduce the risk of a fire hazard.

Venting through the Roof

In some homes the dryer has to push lint and air straight up to the roof to get it out of the house. If the air duct is too long or the dryer is not powerful enough, a booster fan can be added to remedy the situation. A dryer can begin to not work as well if the air is not being circulated properly and the lint that is stuck within the duct risks causing a fire. 

Dryer Efficiency

Dryers rely on the ability to expel air and lint from the air ducts. Clothes can take too long to dry if air-flow is hindered. The efficiency of a dryer is also reliant on how well the ventilation works, and over time a dryer working too hard can get unnecessary wear and tear. It may be a good idea to install a dryer vent booster fan to help with your dryer's air duct problems.
