A little help for a long run.
When a vent cannot be shortened, an inline booster fan can help move air through. It is not for every home, and we only recommend it where your dryer and code allow.
- Use: Long runs that cannot be shortened
- Fan: Made for dryer exhaust
What it is, and why it matters.
A booster fan sits in the duct and starts when it senses the dryer running, giving the air an extra push. It can help with long runs, but it must be the right kind and installed correctly.
We check that the fan is allowed with your dryer, choose a model designed for dryer exhaust, install it with a safe electrical connection and make it easy to service. If rerouting would solve the problem more simply, we say so.
Four things done right.
Honest about when it helps
A shorter route is usually better; a fan is the fallback.
The right equipment
A fan made for lint-laden dryer exhaust.
Safe connection
Wired and placed correctly and accessibly.
Checked afterward
We measure the airflow after installing it.

Dryer Booster Fan Installation: common questions
Do I need a booster fan?
Most homes do not. It is a fix for long runs that cannot be shortened, and it must be allowed by your dryer maker and local code.
Does a fan need cleaning?
Yes. Like the duct, it collects lint, so it is checked at every cleaning.
