Are you venting your electric dryer into your home during this patch of cold weather?

It is -6 F, -20C here today. The house is so dry (RH 30%) my bath towels dry minutes after a shower. Rather than having my dryer blow moist, heated air outside I am venting it indoors into my basement so I save the energy and humidity.
When the dryer blows air out of the house, cold air must be sucked in to make up the difference. The heating system has to work hard to heat up the cold air and that takes energy and costs money.

My dryer hose is easy to disconnect. I just unscrew a hose clamp and pull it off. I shove a towel into the opening to the outside and put a stocking over the hose to catch any lint. Easy.
This simple change saves energy, adds humidity, and smells nice, too.

Is your dryer hose disconnected now?
