Heat Keeper Dryer Deflector Temperature and Humidity Review & Results

[@stanislavzybanov5988]

Thank you very much! It was exactly my idea to use dryer as humidifier and not to waste energy outside but heat the room!!!

[@TheFixFinder]

I would recommend a better filter somehow than what is included. I saw one video where a guy sent the heat into a 5 gallon bucket with water with the vent suspended in the bucket a little bit so it collected all the particles and let the heat through

[@Immense420]

Great method for older homes with woodstove/pellet stove heat which drys the air very quickly in your home and this can keep the humidity levels balanced very well if you use these as your main heat source.

[@mbabcock111]

Those video transitions are really good, what product did you use?

[@dnlmachine4287]

I want to try a radiant duct. Run a piece of duct in a loop or radiator arrangement with a diverter to the main exhaust outside the house, or to a second "winter" exterior exhaust. Make the duct just long enough so it drops to a reasonable temperature before exhausting. Radiant heat with no humidity. Stay gold.

Great idea!

Can you turn the vent heater to face the front? I would like to keep the heat on the floor. And maybe add the extra vent tubing at the floor level.

Like to see if anyone went straight down into a basement area or tied it into their return air. At the very least shoot the humid warm air into a indoor green house.

[@jeffstieren4474]

You also need to take into consideration is, when the dryer is running and blowing air, that's taking inside air and blowing it outside. There are also water base lint collectors that your hot air blows through to collect most of your excess lint from blowing it through your home.

Very well done!! 🖖🏿

TI IS FOR ELECTRIC DRYER ONLY OR FOR GAS DRYER AS WELL?

[@TheFixFinder]

Only for electric

[@aidasberzinskas]

The exhaust on my gas dryer just goes straight into the house anyway so I don’t see why I couldn’t use this on mine.

[@rifleriverrat9311]

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is very possible with a gas dryer vented indoors.

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

​@@rifleriverrat9311OOOOOOhhhhhhh.... THANK YOU!!!!! I've been going NUTS trying to find info on WHY not gas 🥴

[@Rhettnorris09]

Thank you!!!

[@MrNYCinc]

Works great

[@Free-g8r]

This seems like a good idea. But depending on how cold it gets where you are too much interior humidity when it's cold out will cause condensation on windows or, worse, inside walls. There are charts for recommended indoor RH% vs outside temps to prevent this.

[@christienelson1437]

Winter time is when your house drys out so that condensation helps. The one I have can be adjusted somewhat and I haven’t seen any excessive moisture.

[@adamr8628]

@@christienelson1437 It can really add too much moisture and even cause molding. Everyone will see something somewhat different, but its important to mention. There are buckets used for this for that very reason, the bucket catches the extra water which is a must for some people.

[@DougB64]

I do like the idea of this but am concerned about what you are putting in the air in the living space. Chemicals from laundry detergent, heating synthetic fibers, dryer sheets etc are blown into the air that you breathe. What are the long term effects of that on your health? You could be saving money on your heat bill but putting yourself at risk for respiratory issues or perhaps lung cancer.

[@CosmicPrawny]

Tereible invention. You're adding condensation to your property. That will create mould. Black mould. Dont do this.

[@JusticeItself1]

In the winter it’s completely fine.

[@willyknelsen9477]

I'm just curious why would it? Does the furnace not blow hot air?

[@AGuyFromHazard]

My basement where my dryer is somewhere around 20% humidity in the winter as well as upstairs. This is ideal for winter tho I'd add a secondary filter. I run a dehumidifier in my basement during the summer

[@peanutsmith1462]

It’s not free heat you have to pay for the electricity to dry the clothes the only thing that’s free is the mold you putting in your house buy using this

[@TheFixFinder]

I think you know what I mean by free. When our humidity level in the house gets under 35% I think it’s ok to add that little bit of extra moisture so the heat retains better inside. It doesn’t stay open constantly.
