Hello to all!

I have a 3 year old house with a Venmar ventilation system with a heat recovery core. It is a small house and the laundry room consists of a ventless washer/dryer combo unit (which I do not like) in a closet in the middle of the house. I would very much like to put a traditional dryer in this closet but venting it would be a very large project. The closet has a vent fan and a control. Would it be adequate to vent the dryer (with a lint trap)through the ventilation system? My washer is high efficiency and the clothes would be spun dry before going to the washer. We are a two person household.

Thank you so much for any advice.

Leaving a dryer venting into the house is a violation of building safety code in many areas and venting into the ventilation is prohibited as it is not venting to the outside. Following the manufacturer's instructions for the appliance venting is code and must be followed for code and insurance; there are NO manufacturer instructions telling you to vent into a ventilation system, so there is no permission to do so. A local code inspector can tell you what HE expects and can supercede code.
