Use Heat From Your Dryer To Heat Your Home
If you have to use your dryer, you might as well recycle all that warm, fresh-smelling air!
The Heat Keeper attaches to your dryer’s exhaust tubing and re-directs hot air back into your home. It has a safety valve to make sure pressure doesn’t back up and a removeable lint cap.
It should only be used with electric dryers, not ones that run on gas. And the air will be moist, so it might fog up your windows - although in the winter months, this could help with the severely dry air. And in summer months, you can flip a switch that allows the air to vent back outside.

These have been around for quite some time. The only problem with them is they put a lot of lint out into your house, that you’ll end up breathing. If they can (or you can) find a way of filtering that stuff out (ionizing filter, charcoal filter? who knows), they’d be great.
