Lint build up and solutions
Did you know that an improperly maintained dryer could cause a fire? Lint build up in the dryer and its exhaust duct can cause many problems. It can block the flow of air, preventing your clothes from drying properly. It can create excessive heat build up. It can even result in a fire in some models of dryers.
The easy solution to avoid any lint buildup in your ductwork is to add a secondary lint trap placed inline (before) your dryer booster fan. This will catch all of the lint that escapes from your dryers internal built in lint trap and no lint will be passing through the dryer booster fan.

There are several dryer booster products out in the marketplace which are very cost efficient and have great quality. Their system is straight forward easy and reliable.

Transfer fan is designed to transfer air from one room to another. It is ideal for transferring hot air in the winter and cool air in the summer or even stale humid air in unventilated locations without sufficient air circulations.
Install Secondary Inline Lint Fans
In-Linelint trap for dryer vents is a secondary lint trap that is intended for use when required in a dryer booster fan application. Additionally, the in-line lint trap can be used in dryer booster fan applications where excessiver dryer lint is likely.
The in-line lint trap is not intended for use without a dryer booster fan, unless the application is approved by the dryer manufacturer and/or the local building inspector. It is for drywall installation and can be mounted in a ceiling or wall.
