The Dryer Vent Installation Wizard of New Haven Provides Safe Dryer Vent Installation Tips

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- New Haven, CT – Professional dryer vent installation requires understanding the purpose and function of a dryer vent system.  Forced heat produced by natural gas or electricity is blown on tumbling laundry.  This hot, moist air must escape through the dryer duct system in order for clothes to get dry.

An improperly installed dryer vent system can restrict airflow and cause a dryer to over work, consuming more energy, and eventually leading to pre-mature breakdown or a dryer fire.

Don Brusseau, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, advises consumers to be sure their dryer vent system is properly installed according to current building and safety codes.  “The dryer vent pipe should be made of rigid material, 4 inches in diameter,” said Brusseau.  “The flexible foil or vinyl tubing is not acceptable.”

Other tips provided by Brusseau include:

To reduce lint build-up, the dryer duct should be very smooth inside.  Pieces of ductwork should be connected with foil tape, not screws that protrude to the inside which can catch and trap lint.

By law, all clothes dryers must be vented to the outdoors.  If you have a gas dryer, the dryer vent system is responsible for removing gas by-products, like carbon monoxide, from your home.

The dryer vent tube should be installed with as few turns as possible and the shorter the run, the better.  The longer the dryer duct, the harder the dryer works to force the hot air to the vent outside.

Use straps to support the duct so that there are no low points for lint to collect and build up.  Use a level to set horizontal sections with a slight fall to prevent moisture from collecting.
