CLOTHES DRYER CAN’T AUGMENT HOME HEAT QUESTON: As we become more and more “green”, why hasn’t anyone figured out a way to recycle the moist, heated air from gas dryers? As I have three kids, I do at least two loads a day. It seems so elementary an idea. While I know there is some safety factor to it, we must have the technology to devise a way. It would recycle the warm air and provide humidity for our dry furnace air. We could do away with humidifiers on our furnaces! Do you have any insight on this subject? ANSWER: I am sorry to disappoint you, but it has been done before. During the first oil crisis in the 1970s, one of the many ideas was to divert the warm, moist dryer air to the basement or to the house. It was wrong; there would not be enough warmth to make much of a difference, and there would be too much moisture, even in a dry house. Also, the supply would be too erratic to take the place of the controlled humidification on a furnace. Kits were even sold to divert the dryer air. Don’t do it. If
you have a contracting problem and you just don't know where to turn,
