Professional Installation of Dryer Booster Fans
At Habitat Home Services, we provide expert dryer booster fan installation across Metro Vancouver. If your vent run is long/complex, airflow feels weak, or you’re concerned about excess lint and moisture, our certified technicians will size, supply, and install the right booster fan to keep your laundry system safe and efficient.
Dryer Booster Fan Installation in Metro Vancouver
We install all major types of dryer booster fans and supporting components to ensure safe, efficient airflow in any setup, including:
- In-line (in-duct) booster fans – installed directly in the vent duct to improve airflow on long runs.
- Exterior-mounted booster fans – wall or roof units that pull air effectively from the outside.
- Low-profile in-line units – compact designs for ceilings, attics, or other tight spaces.
- High-efficiency (EC) models with integrated controls – including pressure switches, current-sensing units, and timers for automatic operation.
- Lint traps / lint filters – capture lint before it reaches the booster, reducing clogging and fire risks.
- Backdraft dampers, duct connectors, and sealed metal joints – prevent air leaks and maintain code-compliant installation.
- Mounting brackets and vibration isolators – secure the booster fan and ensure quiet operation.
We work with all brands, models, and configurations—from standard residential boosters to specialized setups in condos and multi-family buildings.
Our Installation Process
- On-site assessment & sizing – Measure run length and fittings, calculate effective duct length, identify restrictions.
- Full video inspection – Camera check of the vent to confirm routing, blockages, or damage before install.
- Model selection & supply – We choose and provide a unit matched to your layout, airflow needs, and noise targets.
- Professional mounting & ducting – Secure brackets and vibration isolators; rigid, properly supported duct; airtight joints with code-approved sealants; correct slope to exterior to prevent condensate pooling.
- Controls & electrical integration – Install and set up current or pressure switches for reliable activation. When hard-wiring or new circuits are required, we coordinate with a licensed electrician.
- Condensation management – Insulation in unconditioned spaces, slope corrections, and (where required) drain provisions to prevent moisture issues.
- Airflow & safety testing – Verify booster actuation, measure airflow and amp draw, confirm quiet, stable operation.
- Clean-up & homeowner guidance – We leave the area tidy and provide care tips, including cleaning intervals for the lint trap.
Compliance & Warranty
All installations are completed to manufacturer specifications and in full compliance with applicable Canadian safety and building requirements (including strata housing considerations).
Every installation is backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty, while all equipment is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
For added peace of mind, we also offer extended warranty options of 3, 5, or even 6 years, providing long-term protection for both parts and workmanship.
If your laundry takes too long to dry, the airflow feels weak, or your vent run is too long, it’s time to install a professional dryer booster fan. This upgrade ensures proper ventilation, faster drying cycles, and safer operation of your dryer.
Where do we provide services?
Common Reasons to Install a Dryer Booster Fan
- Long vent runs (over 25 feet / 7.6 m) – Standard dryers can’t maintain airflow over long distances. Most vent systems have two or more bends, which reduce airflow even further—dropping the effective limit to as little as 15 feet (4.6 m).
- Multiple bends or turns in ductwork – Each elbow reduces airflow and increases resistance.
- Dryer takes too long to dry clothes – Even when the dryer itself is working properly.
- Moisture or condensation problems – Damp air trapped in ducts or laundry areas.
- Frequent lint buildup inside ducts – Caused by weak airflow and incomplete exhaust.
- Overheating dryers – Vent restrictions force the dryer to run hotter, stressing components.
- Mold, mildew, or odors – Inadequate ventilation leads to poor indoor air quality.
- Homes without direct exterior venting – Booster fans support airflow through extended ducting.
- New laundry room renovations – Relocated laundry rooms often require longer vent systems.
- Multi-family buildings or condos – Shared or complex duct systems need extra airflow support.
Note: Long vent runs or restricted airflow often lead to dryer problems such as extended drying times, excess wrinkles, or overheating. By professionally installing a dryer booster fan, we ensure your venting system maintains safe airflow—protecting both your dryer and your home.
Key Components We Install with a Dryer Booster Fan System
- Capacitors – ensure the fan motor starts and runs reliably
- Fan motors – drive the impeller to maintain strong, consistent airflow
- Impellers (fan blades) – push air effectively through the duct system
- Pressure switches / airflow sensors – automatically activate the booster when the dryer is in use
- Current switches – detect electrical current from the dryer to trigger booster operation
- Lint traps / lint filters – installed to capture lint before it reaches the booster fan, preventing clogging and fire hazards
- Relay or control boards – regulate power supply and switching for the booster fan
- Thermal protection devices – safeguard against overheating by shutting the fan off if necessary
- Mounting brackets and vibration isolators – keep the booster securely fixed and running quietly
- Duct connectors and collars – provide airtight connections to the existing vent system
- Exterior exhaust flaps / vent hoods – allow proper exhaust flow while preventing backdrafts
- Seals and gaskets – ensure leak-free, secure connections for safe and efficient operation
If you’re experiencing weak airflow, long drying times, or notice condensation and lint buildup, it’s time to consider a professional dryer booster fan installation. Don’t wait until restricted airflow turns into a fire hazard—our certified technicians install the right system for your vent length, home setup, or building type to ensure safe, efficient dryer operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Dryer Booster Fan Installation
What is a dryer booster fan?
A dryer booster fan is a device installed in the vent line that increases airflow in long or complex duct runs. It helps your dryer exhaust hot air, lint, and moisture safely—improving efficiency and reducing fire risk.
When do I need one installed?
You may need a booster fan if your vent run exceeds 25 feet (7.6 m) in length. With multiple bends, the effective limit can be as little as 15 feet (4.6 m). Other signs include long drying times, condensation in ducts, weak airflow at the exterior vent, or frequent lint buildup.
Do you supply the booster fan, or do I need to buy one?
Yes. We provide top-quality booster fans from trusted Canadian, U.S., and international brands (including select models from China). Every unit we supply is carefully chosen for reliability, efficiency, and compliance with Canadian safety standards.
If you’ve already purchased a booster fan, we are also happy to install customer-supplied units.
Will the installation require changes to my duct system?
Sometimes, yes. Our technicians may adjust duct routing, slope, or insulation to ensure optimal airflow and compliance with Canadian safety and building codes. We also install lint traps, pressure or current switches, and condensation safeguards if needed.
Do you provide a warranty on installations?
Yes. Every installation is backed by our 12-month warranty, covering both labor and all installed components. The booster system is designed to withstand humidity, high temperatures, and continuous airflow stress for safe, long-term operation.
