How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?

<div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-dryer-vent-cleaning-cost.htm#">cost to clean a dryer vent</a> is around <b>$140</b>, but you could pay between <b>$75 and $325,</b> depending on the size of your dryer vent, accessibility, and how much debris is caught inside the vent. A first-floor or basement vent will usually be the most affordable to professionally clean, while a second-floor or roof vent will be more expensive due to additional equipment required for access. Your price could increase higher than these estimates if you also want an official dryer vent inspection or if your professional discovers that you need vent repairs.</p></div>

Is dryer vent cleaning worth it?

<div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-dryer-vent-cleaning.htm">dryer vent cleaning</a> is absolutely worth the money. The service is relatively inexpensive and quick, and the value and peace of mind you get for the investment make it worthwhile. A clogged dryer vent is a significant fire risk, so the average <b>$140</b> you might pay to have your dryer vent cleaned once a year could save you thousands of dollars in home repairs if the clog causes a fire. Additionally, some homeowner’s insurance companies will charge you a lower premium if you provide receipts of annual dryer vent cleanings by a professional.</p></div>

How can I tell if my dryer vent is clogged?

<div><p>Some signs of a clogged dryer vent include the following:</p><ul><li><p>Your clothes take longer than usual to dry.</p></li><li><p>The exterior of your dryer gets very hot during operation.</p></li><li><p>You see lint around the area where the vent leaves your exterior wall.</p></li><li><p>You notice unusual or burning odors during dryer operation.</p></li></ul><p>If you notice any of these signs, discontinue use and call a dryer vent cleaning service immediately. Neglecting a clogged dryer vent drastically increases the risk of a fire starting in your home. </p></div>

Can I clean my dryer vent myself?

<div><p>It’s possible to clean out your dryer vent yourself, and it’s recommended between professional cleanings. You can disconnect the vent, remove lint and debris by hand, and then vacuum the inside of the vent hose using vacuum extensions. However, a DIY dryer vent cleaning should never replace a professional cleaning. At least once per year, you should hire a professional dryer vent cleaner to clear your dryer vent, regardless of how often you clean it yourself. This schedule will provide peace of mind and increased safety for your family and your home.</p></div>

How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

<div><p>You should have your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-common-dryer-vent-cleaning-questions.htm">dryer vent cleaned</a> by a professional at least <b>once per year</b>. Over time, lint and other debris from your laundry get caught throughout the vent, causing a few different issues. A less severe problem caused by a clogged dryer vent is extended drying time for your clothes, which increases energy costs. More importantly, lint in a clogged dryer vent can easily catch fire, putting your household members and your home at significant risk. Keep in mind that decades-old dryer vent systems may need increased cleaning, so plan to complete this task twice per year.</p></div>

One of the highest numbers of complaints to consumer protection agency is for home improvement and service companies.. Plumbing license: MPL 37466. A/C license: TACLB 53102E. Call us today for all your plumbing needs!

"Unfortunately, I have to give these people a start, even though they don't deserve it, and I suspect their good reviews are likely fake. Please be cautious and don’t let them scam you. They will come to your house under the pretense of providing an estimate. They start at $200 for air conditioning duct cleaning but then claim to find mold. They act honestly and try to help you by offering the best deal. What began as a $200 service ended up costing me $2,700 for cleaning 15 a/c vents, all while alleging that they found mold. Sadly, in my effort to protect my family, I ended up paying for something that wasn't true. I know I will lose a significant amount of money, but I hope no one else has to go through what I am experiencing. I can’t ask this person to feel remorse for taking so much money from a single mother trying to keep her home clean and healthy for her kids. I plan to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau, hoping these people will learn not to take advantage of others and to be honest with their customers."
