Optimized Airflow for Your System
Tired of long drying times and frustrated with high energy bills? A clogged dryer vent booster fan could be the culprit! Booster fans work by giving your dryer an extra push to vent hot, moist air outside your home.
If your dryer vent is longer than 35 feet, we recommend installing a booster fan to help your system run more efficiently. A professional booster fan installation provides proper airflow throughout the entire system. Our dryer vent technicians are prepared to install a booster fan at the time of service, even if you aren’t sure you need one when you schedule your appointment.
Booster Fan Cleaning Services
Just like your dryer vents, booster fans need regular cleaning for optimal performance. During our booster fan cleaning service, our technicians remove all lint and debris that has built up on the fan and its mechanical components. The booster fan is then inspected to ensure it is fully functioning and helping your vent system operate at maximum efficiency.
General FAQs
Do I need a booster fan?
Not all dryer vents require a booster fan. They are typically beneficial in situations where dryer vent lengths are long, have multiple bends, or vent through areas unsuited for proper airflow (like attics or crawlspaces).
How often should I have my booster fan cleaned?
The cleaning frequency depends on usage and lint buildup. Generally, every 1-2 years is recommended, or more frequently in high-lint-producing households.
What are the signs a booster fan needs cleaning?
Some common signs that may indicate that your booster fan needs cleaning are increased drying times, rising energy bills, unusual noises and visible link accumulation.
