Which properties can request an assessment?

We assess dryer exhaust systems in laundromats, hotels, apartment communities, healthcare facilities, salons, and other commercial properties.

Can rerouting correct a long dryer vent?

It may shorten the exhaust route and reduce the number of restrictive bends. An inspection determines whether rerouting or replacement is appropriate.

Does Dryer Vent Wizard perform electrical work for commercial dryer vent systems?

Dryer Vent Wizard services focus on the dryer vent system. If electrical work is required as part of a recommended venting solution, that work must be performed by a licensed electrician.

What is a dryer exhaust duct power ventilator?

A dryer exhaust duct power ventilator is a distinct device and is not the same as a domestic booster fan. Under Florida Mechanical Code Section 504.5, it must be listed and labeled to UL 705 for use in dryer exhaust duct systems and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Are domestic booster fans allowed in Florida?

Florida Building Code Section 504.6 prohibits domestic booster fans in dryer exhaust systems. However, dryer exhaust duct power ventilators listed and labeled to UL 705 may be permitted under Section 504.5 when applicable requirements are met.

How do you assess an existing booster fan?

We inspect the fan, ductwork, airflow, and vent configuration. The findings help determine whether removal, maintenance, rerouting, or replacement is appropriate.

Can an existing booster fan be cleaned?

Maintenance may be considered after the existing equipment and vent system are evaluated. Cleaning or maintenance does not establish code compliance or determine whether equipment is permitted to remain in service.
