Ben H Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Do I understand you in that the dryer was vented into the bedroom? Wow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 If I'm reading this right that is a heat duct and register. I like it, it made me smile. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPdesign Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 There is a new mini-duct system... But I do not think that is it! http://southernmoheatandair.com/yahoo_s ... 32_std.jpg I must say that using a valve to divert the excess heat from the dryer to the adjacent space (such as a garage) in the winter may not be a bad way to go from an efficiency standpoint. I do not know what the code says about that though....[:-crazy] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Moore Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 OK...so how about this "heated" bedroom closet from today. Judging from the gaps at the panel, the place had an electric furnace originally. When they changed to a gas furnace and water heater, this must have been the most direct route to the roof. If it wasn't so downright dangerous I'd give them points for a nice, neat install. Click to Enlarge 82.98 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 If it wasn't so downright dangerous I'd give them points for a nice, neat install. Were there proper clearances and firstops?[:-dunce] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yes to both, assuming you aren't counting clothes and other stuff. I'm recommending it gets boxed in with a dry-walled chase. Also suggesting a CO monitor for that bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPdesign Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Did they mention how nice it was to have warm clothes to put on during those cold mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
