Why let good heat go to waste during cold winters? Install a heat keeper to allow hot air flow to stay inside, while still keeping lint at bay. This kit is easy to install and gives you a good excuse to also perform regular dryer maintenance. *FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS ONLY

I also added a Space Save duct so the dryer could be pushed closer to the wall.

Is this adjustable? I don’t want too much humidity.

Wouldn't this cause excessive moisture in your home, leading to possible mold problems?

  in the winter time, the heater removes a lot of moisture from your air- that is why your sinuses dry out- so unless its just kept in the laundry room- it could be a good thing.

my only issue is that my vent is super low- if you vent up is prolly best.
