Booster Fan Repair
Professional Booster Fan Repair and Servicing
A booster fan may be necessary for a dryer vent to ensure proper airflow and prevent blockages from lint buildup. Without sufficient airflow, the dryer may not operate efficiently and could potentially overheat, leading to a fire wizard. Installing a booster fan can help improve ventilation and reduce the risk of dangerous situations.
Booster fans help increase airflow through your dryer duct, reducing the amount of lint that builds up and improving your drying times by up to 50%. On top of that, they can even make your dryer last longer. We recommend using a dryer booster fan if your duct length exceeds 25 feet (or is shorter but has multiple bends), or if you live in an apartment or condo with concrete firewalls.
Trust us, this is a small investment that can make a big difference in your laundry routine.
Booster Fans Repairs and Installations
Has Your Booster Fan Stopped Working?
It can be difficult to know if your booster fan is working correctly. Typically, there are three signs that it’s time to have your booster fan replaced or repaired.
Water Damage from Dryer Duct
If you booster fan isn't working, typically you'll see this in your ceiling. Leaking dryer ducts cause damage to ceilings and walls.
Extended Drying Times
If you're needing to run your dryer two or even three times to get your clothing dry, consider having your booster fan checked.
Water Dripping from Vent
If you can see water dropping out of your dryer vent, or even damp lint, it's a sign your booster fan is no longer functioning
