Dryer Vent Installation
Why Are Dryer Vents So Important?
Dryer vents are extremely important for proper ventilation of exhaust. The exhaust is sent out of the home via a flexible tube. These tubes can be rigid or semi-rigid. Dryer vents are crucial for ensuring fires do not occur. Dryers operate by tumbling wet clothes with warm air. As the clothes rotate with the heated air, moisture begins to evaporate. The dryer picks up the moisture and send its out of the unit.
Every dryer has a metal vent located on the back of the unit. This vent is responsible for expelling water-laden air. This air should not be blown into your home, instead it must be taken outside. This is done through an exhaust tube. One end of this tube is attached to the back of your dryer and the other end is attached to a hole on the outside of your home. This process and set up is what makes a dryer work efficiently.
