Greetings folks, have a questions about a center unit townhouse. Is it against code to have a dryer vent into a Garage? The dryer is on the main floor and sitting right next to the garage so I think it was a shortcut to just get the install done (1989).
Currently the temp fix is to open the garage when the dryer is running. This has to be fixed however. The 2nd floor is over the garage so running duct work straight up is not an option (it would pipe through a bedroom).
Only things I can see as an option is to run the duct along the floor of the garage and punch a hole there... OR (and this I'd rather not do) is join the exhaust with the only exterior duct work in the garage that brings in outside air for the heater and just not run the heat with the dryer in the winter.
Thoughts?
