More precisely, with the hot air your dryer makes in your basement, your bathroom or any other room where you stationed him.<br /><br />Clothes dryer boost exhaust fan is a necessity because you will never get a perfect installation with short duct length. That is a reality most of us has to face and find a solution for it. We may have a good contractor in our address book, but sometimes it's just impossible to get a good position for you clothes dryer and the duct that goes along.<br /><br />In perfect conditions we wouldn't need a boost exhaust fan, but when the exhaust duct is too long, we need to change something. That's why we tend to locate them against any outside wall. Then the hot air is vented outside without disturbing the work of our dryer and without making any additional problems. But more often then not we need a clothes dryer boost exhaust fan to make the system function normally.<br /><br />You probably know that many <a href="http://clothes-dryer-boost-exhaust.blogspot.com/">clothes dryers</a> can't operate if there isn't any good duct work provided. If the exhaust is not favorable, then you have higher energy usage, longer drying time, wear and tear on the machine itself and all that costs money. That's why you need a solution. And one of them is certainly clothes dryer boost exhaust fan.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-66616725337837588512009-01-12T11:24:00.000-08:002009-01-12T11:40:42.766-08:005 Clothes Dryer Things To KnowThese are the five things you need to know if you are looking for a clothes dryer. <br /><br />Ducting - You should look for a dryer that can duct the moisture outside your home. In case you need to put a dryer into place that doesn't let you use the ducting, you should consider another option for your laundry. Some people suggest you still put the dryer inside your home but to make sure there is enough ventilation around. I do not suggest this because that moisture will remain in your home, no matter what you do. It will ruin your walls, ceiling and create mold and mildew quite fast. <br /><br />Drying cycle - There are manual and sensor dryers. With manual, you have to set the length of the drying cycle yourself, depending on the time you think clothes will be dry. You need to check out your clothes from time to time and remove the one that is already dry. With sensor dryers, there is an automatic stop that will react when machine figures out your clothes is dry. It will save your time and it will eliminate the over drying. Some newer models also help with drying in that way that all clothes is equally dry. <br /><br />Temperature setting - There are plenty of options here, some will give you two settings only, others will offer multiple programs. Figure out what exactly do you need before making any buying decisions. <br /><br />Creasing - If you are fast enough, you can fold your clothes without need for ironing. There are some clothes dryers that can assist you with this so you should check out for them. You can set the timer to schedule this. The machine can keep on working until you are ready to pick up the clothes. Also, there are some useful features that will help you with creasing, like backwards drying that will keep your clothes to remain untangled. <br /><br />Practicalities - It is recommended to empty the fluff every time you use your dryer. Check that it is easy to accessible and that it is easy to load and unload the clothes from your dryer. Another thing to be aware of is door size, some are smaller and some are bigger - a larger will definitely be easier to handle. Check out the dryer height and can you install it where you want. The capacity is important too, depending on how many family members you have, plan out the capacity of the clothes dryer you need.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-43279072408759336372008-10-07T22:19:00.000-07:002008-10-07T22:32:50.116-07:00Difference Between Clothes DryersJudging by the reviews from people who use clothes dryers for years, there is not much difference in performance. If we compare dryers to washing machines, that is a big surprises, since washing machines differ in performance. <br /><br />The only thing that a dryer can have and be different from many others is style and design. For example, Maytag Bravos is a powerful, new age clothes dryer that offers all the new features like steam function. If you own a Maytag Bravos, then you know what I am talking about.<br /><br />Another type of clothes dryer is LG and he usually gets good grades from users. His advantage is that he is not overburdened with some extra features that add to the cost. LG clothes dryer has all the essentials you need and his is what most people appreciate. <br /><br />There is one more older type of dryers that you can use, if you don't mind that he is not fashionable at all. It's a GE Profile DP dryer that has enough features but a bit old controls. If you are the type of person who doesn't mind that, then this is great clothes dryer for you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-18751527600803166672008-09-12T01:47:00.000-07:002010-03-12T01:47:26.996-08:00Terms And ConditionsWe will provide the best information possible here, but you are responsible to do your own research before taking any action.

There are different opinions concerning which type is the best for your home. Since there are different benefits and advantages you get from both gas and electric clothes dryer, it is really a matter of a need. You will choose the one that works best for you.<br /><br />The gas dryer uses gas to create a heat and dry the clothes, while there are some electric parts that serve to ignite the flame, operate the motor, thermostats, cool kit and the timer. This means that the gas dryer has more parts in comparison to the electric clothes dryer. And we all know that there is a bigger possibility that something will go wrong and break if there are more parts involved in the process. And the statistics say that gas clothes dryer does break down more often the his electric counterpart.<br /><br />They both have similar parts, like motor, belt, timer, thermal fuse and thermostats. The motor is used to turn the belt that will power the basket, while timer is used to start and finish the process in the desired time set by the user. The thermostat will maintain the set temperature while a thermal fuse works as a safety net, shutting down the clothes dryer if thermostats fails to do his job.<br /><br />There are few problems that are same for electric clothes dryers and gas dryers. Some of the reasons for prolonged time for clothes to dry is lint build up in the clothes dryer vent over time. You should check your ventilation from time to time in order to make sure nothing is blocking the airflow. You can also check the exhaust, to see how much hot air is coming out the vent. If the airflow is weak, then there is somethng in the way. It can be lint, birds nest or something similar. <br /><br />You should also know that the gas dryer is a bit more dangerous, since there is gas involved in the process. The fumes should be vented outdoors, never indoors, and you should always have fire extinguisher nearby in case of a malfunction and fire. But if you keep your dryer in good order, maintain it and keep the vents clean, you won't have any problems with gas or electric clothes dryers.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-13814779879497452542008-07-29T03:55:00.000-07:002008-07-29T04:13:35.979-07:00Dryer Vent CoverWondering why you need <span style="font-weight:bold;">dryer vent cover</span>? Will you really benefit from one, or is it just a fancy looking thing that does nothing but looks good? You will realize you need a dryer vent cover after you read this post.<br /><br />Just think about one thing here. Did you noticed how the room where your clothes dryer is feels different? Isn't it always colder in there, comparing to other rooms in your home? Answer for that is quite simple, because the cause is well known.<br /><br />Your exhaust duct is opened to the outdoors, and that means that you have a 4 inch diameter hole in the wall. During the cold days, the air that comes in your home will be cold. And during warm days, the hot air will enter your home. This means you will lose heat during winter, and gain heat during summer. Not a pretty situation, right? This is exactly why you need <span style="font-weight:bold;">dryer vent covers</span>.<br /><br />You lose energy this way, meaning that you will have to pay more for home heating. Also , you will have to pay more for air conditioning during hot summer days.<br /><br />The solution for this problem is quite simple. You can use a sheet metal flapper and reduce air leakage. It is the basic solution and will help you a bit, but if you want to solve this problem entirely, you have to use something better as a dryer vent cover. This is simply because the lint will clog the flapper and leave them opened. Then you are back to square one.<br /><br />You need to find a clothes dryer vent cover that will open itself only when your clothes dryer works. This is the perfect solution. It will keep the air outside, along with the insects, rodents and birds. This type of dryer vent cover only allows hot air outside when your dryer is working. It doesn't get better then that.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-47258845802999331732008-07-29T03:36:00.000-07:002008-07-29T03:53:07.400-07:00Dryer Vent CleaningIf you want your clothes dryer to be efficient, you have to stick to <span style="font-weight:bold;">dryer vent cleaning</span>. Wit time, lint will build up and it closes the dryer vent system, creating a dangerous situation. Cleaning dryer vent is a necessity in order to prevent your clothes dryer to work over his limits, as well as preventing the possibility of fire. Irregular dryer vent cleaning is the biggest cause of home fires in the US. <br /><br />How can you know if your clothes dryer ventilation needs cleaning? The most important thing you can do is to notice any difference in behavior of your dryer. If it needs more time to dry clothes than usual, that could be a sign of clogged dryer vent. Check out your ducting, but if you are not experienced enough, then call someone who can help you with that.<br /><br />Most dryer vent are short because they have an exhaust right next to the clothes dryer, out to the wall. And these have less chance to become clogged and need cleaning. The longer dryer vent is, bigger possibility for clogging and cleaning. <br /><br />If you have a long ducting, then it is much harder to do the dryer vent cleaning. You will need special tools and equipment or you will even have to call cleaning service. Besides cleaning the lint, the service will also take care of any animal nesting that can appear in dryer vent. <br /><br />All gas dryer users should be more concerned with dryer vent cleaning because the carbon monoxide is created when gas dryer works. This gas is poisonous and can enter your rooms. This is why vent cleaning is really important, the goal is to prevent losses of lives. And the statistics say fires and carbon monoxide poisoning happen due to improper <span style="font-weight:bold;">dryer vent cleaning</span>. If you think you are not able to clean the vent by yourself, hiring a professional would be a good choice.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-84732900444895558972008-07-09T03:22:00.000-07:002008-07-09T03:30:28.396-07:00A Short Clothes Dryer Fan GuideFirst, let us try to follow the path of the air that goes through the clothes dryer. When you start your machine, the air gets sucked into the clothes dryer through the openings in the machine. This air is needed to dry our clothes, of course, and without it this machine wouldn't be able to operate.<br /><br />The air that goes inside is there with the help of one fan that drives all of the air through the clothes dryer. But you must remember that this fan is actually the last step in the air moving process. What happens next, is that air goes out the clothes dryer by his own will. This is where you need a duct to get rid of that hot air through to roof, or sometimes through the wall. But, it will move slowly and there is a possibility that you will have problems. This is why you need other fan, the one that will be on the other side and suck the air out of the dryer, leading it out through the duct.<br /><br />We want to say this again, because people seem to forget it all the time. If you have a clothes dryer that is powered by propane or natural gas, it is DANGEROUS to vent the air to the inside. Do not do this, under no circumstances. The exhaust gas is blown out along with the heated air, thus poisoning your basement with carbon monoxide. Make sure you vent it through the roof and use a exhaust fan to get rid of the dangerous air.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-72527220487769692162008-05-20T02:39:00.000-07:002008-05-20T03:17:30.968-07:00LG Washer And DryerIf you want a dryer without venting, then <span style="font-weight:bold;">LG washer and dryer</span> is your best bet. We all know its tough to handle your clothes if you live in an apartment, but LG has a great solution with their washer and dryer combo because it doesn't need to be vented.<br /><br />One of choices you have when buying LG washer and dryer is LG WM3431. The best thing he offers for apartment dwellers is that they can use this machine as long as they at least have access to a kitchen sink and a standard electrical outlet. It is easy to find a Y-connector at a hardware store with a snap-on dishwasher connector. Then all it needs to be done is to hook up LG washer and dryer to the faucet with just a snap every time it is being used.<br /><br />Another great addition to this LG washer and dryer is a possibility to purchase casters for so that you can wheel the clothes dryer around your apartment rather than drag it across the floor on its feet. If you already have a dryer on wheels, get a rubber mat to roll it onto if you live in an building with lousy flooring.<br /><br /><br />When it comes to washing, LG washer and dryer offers multiple cycles to choose from using the main dial: Cotton/Towels, Normal, Sanitary,Press, Delicate, Speed Wash, Wool/Silk and Hand Wash. Besides those, you also have many other options like Soak, Extra Wash, Spin Only, Extra Rinse and so on.<br /><br />With this LG washer and dryer you can choose the level of soil from light to heavy and the wash/rinse temperature from cold to hot. Of course, this clothes dryer allows you to choose from several spin speeds. Your washing will take from 35 minutes to over two hours, depending on how many extras and on cycle you use. <br /><br />We will just say that this machine will get stains out without beating up your clothes. Reason: there's no agitator. Use Delicate cycle with satin sheets for example, and they will turn out perfect.<br /><br />You can set LG dryer and washer to wash and dry in a complete cycle, wash only, or dry only. The clothes dryer can either be set by timer or sensor. This is a ventless clothes dryer and works by condensing the moisture in the drum and then flushing it down the drain, so there is no steam and ventilation needed. For this to happen, you need to have the cold water on during the dry cycle. <br /><br />Drying will take some time, so you better be prepared right now. A typical load takes about 2 hours using the Normal setting on the sensor and a small load will need about an hour and a half.

It has a price, but that is because it offers so much quality and will serve you for a long time.

Not only good dryer exhaust makes your clothes dryer more efficient, but it also makes it much safer. If you do not pay attention to this and ignore some basic rules, you will be burned hard. And I mean literally. <br /><br />When it comes to effectiveness of clothes dryers, <span style="font-weight:bold;">dryer exhaust</span> is an important issue because of one thing. It gives a machine necessary breeding space. Imagine what happens inside your clothes dryer - there is a bunch of wet clothes, the heater is working inside the machine and slowly dries up the clothes. Hot, steamy air with lots of humidity is built up and it needs to go somewhere. And dryer exhaust is the way to go.<br /><br />When there isn't enough airflow for hot air to go to the <span style="font-weight:bold;">clothes dryer vent</span>, then the machine will work under strained conditions. There would be more malfunctions then usual and your clothes would need more time to dry. You would lose the time and money, all because of improper dryer exhaust. Make sure to clean it with a brush to remove the lint. And your lint filter needs check ups from time to time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZbkuFafuGxmnyUDzfDy2v-K_8sHtcIDZObGafwmnO-GBKP1xTjwFMA30e0_Iv7Wco-DdVxJevaG6HHtkKlN9q1kOc7WsOeElRpkoEgg6PvsfwZY-3epcoyCaIQ5Mu_ixVBVtc6SjPbjQz/s1600-h/dryerexhaust.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZbkuFafuGxmnyUDzfDy2v-K_8sHtcIDZObGafwmnO-GBKP1xTjwFMA30e0_Iv7Wco-DdVxJevaG6HHtkKlN9q1kOc7WsOeElRpkoEgg6PvsfwZY-3epcoyCaIQ5Mu_ixVBVtc6SjPbjQz/s320/dryerexhaust.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181070498280255202" /></a><br /><br />If there isn't any <span style="font-weight:bold;">clothes dryer exhaust</span>, then the hot air would damage the machine. It would be a big explosion which would set your clothes dryer on fire. If the dryer exhaust is present, but not open enough for the hot air to go through vent, then similar thing would happen. If clothes dryer duct isn't big enough, there would be malfunction in the machine and probably a fire would break lose.<br /><br />According to Consumer Products Safety Commission, there are about 16,000 clothes dryers fires due to bad dryer exhaust. Each year those fires create $84 million property damages. These accidents happen due to lack of maintenance and proper <a href="http://clothes-dryer-boost-exhaust.blogspot.com/2008/03/clothes-dryer-repair.html">clothes dryer repair</a>. One of the causes is insufficient airflow caused by improper installation. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dirty dryer vents</span> are number one cause of all household fires! Is there a better reason to take care of your dryer exhaust with more attention?<br /><br />Another thing that needs to be mentioned here is that there should be absolutely no interior clothes dryer venting. This is especially dangerous if you own a gas clothes dryer. The combustion byproducts are very dangerous to be inhaled. The first thing you should take care of is to make your dryer exhaust as safe s possible. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Exterior venting</span>.<br /><br />Also, the distance between the clothes dryers and exterior vents should be no longer then 60 feet. If you have duct that long, then use <span style="font-weight:bold;">clothes dryer boost exhaust fan</span> to make venting more efficient and safe. Also, the quantity of lint would be lowered with a good boost exhaust fan. Always take care of safety issues first when it comes to your dryer exhaust.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633002883179741692.post-59940364050609439082008-03-22T07:00:00.000-07:002008-04-06T15:09:12.129-07:00Dryer Replacement PartsFinding good dryer replacement parts is now a regular part of our everyday lives.

Some of the conditions we face can't be changed and are given to us, but there are many of those that can be turned into our advantage so we can solve any obstacle. Remember, installing a clothes dryer boost exhaust fan is always easiest way to do it.<br /><br />First, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">clothes dryer problems</span> we can't change:<br /><br />1. Apartment buildings with centrally located laundry room<br />2. Apartment complexes with individual ducts for every clothes dryer<br />3. Laundry rooms that are located in the center of the house<br />4. Basements that don't allow easy, direct venting<br /><br />These are the issues we can't deal with, or to be more precise, it's much harder to change them then to change other conditions. Now, the conditions that also make problems to our <a href="http://clothes-dryer-boost-exhaust.blogspot.com/">clothes dryers</a> but can be easily changed are:<br /><br />1. We have a lint in our duct that's clogging the exhaust system<br />2. The fan we have has blades clogged with lint<br />3. The motor overloads because it can't handle the heated air<br />4. Our air blower can't handle the long duct<br /><br />All these <a href="http://clothes-dryer-boost-exhaust.blogspot.com/2008/02/clothes-dryer-problems.html">clothes dryers problems</a> will create more complications if you choose not to act. Your laundry room will receive more moist, the duct will become clogged and destroy the motor in your clothes dryer and the wood will soak up the moist and rot. These can happen to everyone unless he acts when there is need. And this is where clothes dryer boost exhaust fan comes in.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
