Not only will you capture the heat from your dryer that otherwise would be exhausted, but your furnace does not need to heat the cold winter air that would be pulled into your house to make up for the air that was exhausted.  So you save twice.

Installation is quick and simple, and only took about ten minutes.  Cut the dryer vent, insert the ends of the Heat Saver into the ends of the dryer vent and use the provided zip ties to secure the vent to the Heat Save.  You might consider using aluminum tape or sealant to fully seal the dryer vent to the Heat Saver.  Also, gas dryers must be vented to the outdoors, so this product should not be used for them.

If your windows begin to show condensation when you start using the Heat Saver, there are four possible solutions:

1. weatherize your windows – add storm windows, weatherstripping, and or window insulating film,
2. turn off or lower the setting on your humidifier,
3. do your laundry on more days of the week instead of just one or two,or
4. cut back on or discontinue using the Heat Saver.

For only ten bucks, this energy saving investment should pay for itself in no time.
