The Value & The Costs of
Laundry Chute or Laundry Jet
The Value
A laundry chute is a convenient amenity that helps transport dirty linens and clothes from one area of the home to a central location, such as a laundry room or basement. Traditionally, it is a vertical passage built into the structure of a home that uses gravity to transport the items. Modern technology also offers a new type of laundry chute called a Laundry Jet, which is powered by vacuum, and moves laundry from any room with parts installed to a laundry room—regardless of whether a home is several stories or just a single level. You can even install a porting system for clean laundry to be transported back to your closet. In addition to helping keep your home neat and tidy, installing a laundry chute saves time and effort for homeowners, and reduces the physical strain carrying heavy loads of laundry between rooms, and up and down stairs.
The Costs
The costs of installing a laundry chute or jet can vary in costs, depending on factors such as the complexity related to the design and layout of the home, materials, and any additional customization required. Generally, you can expect to spend a few hundred to several thousands of dollars. Basic vertical laundry chute installations typically hover under $2,000. However, costs can increase for more complex installations involving vertical porting, increased distance between ports, and the use of premium materials. These costs can be well worth the expenses for those looking to streamline their laundry process at home, or even those who wish to make their home friendly to aging in place.
