Energy Efficient Choices

"Ever since I installed the dryer vent seal, my laundry room is no longer freezing cold in the winter. Before I installed the dryer vent seal, my four-inch dryer vent was basically a vent that let extreme cold air travel into the house when the dryer was not being used. Not only is my home warmer now, but my clothes dry faster since I'm not putting them into a frozen dryer."   - D. Nelmes from Pennsylvania

Our Dryer Vent Closure keeps out outside air since only heated dryer air pushes up the floating shuttle, then escapes from the vent's bottom. When dryer stops, shuttle drops back down, keeping wind, birds, bugs and rodents outside. Dryer vent mounts easily over existing 4" vent pipe. Screws included.

Have you ever noticed that the room containing your clothes dryer is the coldest room in your house? Ever wonder why?? Your clothes dryer is connected to a 4" diameter exhaust duct that is open to the outdoors. In the winter, cold air leaks in through the duct, through your dryer and into your house, while your heated air just pours right out!

Try this yourself - with the dryer off, go outside and feel your heated air leaking out of the dryer vent. This is a substantial energy-loser!

Many common discharge vents use a sheet metal flapper to try to reduce this air leakage. This is very primitive technology that does not provide a positive seal to stop the air leakage. Compounding the problem is that over time, lint clogs the flapper valve causing it to stay open. This is like leaving a window open! Conventional dryer vents can allow hot air into your home during the summer months, and cold air in during the winter.

The Dryer Vent Seal is made of high impact ABS plastic, and will mount easily on siding, brick, or cement. The vent can be painted if desired.
