Clothes Dryer (Electric) Venting
The Home Wizard app calculates your
ideal home care program
to avoid
problems with your Clothes Dryer, but sometimes trouble
can still occur. Here are answers to
questions about clothes dryer (electric) venting.

QUESTION FROM randy
does gas clothes dryer vent have to be vented to the outside.it is only vented to a water lent trap behind dryer is this safe and ok.

ANSWER FROM HOME-WIZARD
Dear Randy:
Yes, a gas dryer should ABSOLUTELY be vented to the outside of your home.
Gas clothes dryers do not have separate flues for the byproducts of the burnt gas. These dangerous by-products of gas burning (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc.) come out through the dryer vent.
And as such, you need to be sure that your dryer vent exits your home, and that there are no leaks in your vent ducting.
Hope this is helpful.
