Mentioned that I should consider getting the vent cleaned, but explained how we could check to see if there was a problem. Also explained that many people do it themselves and how. Did not seem to be trying to sell me a service, but just mentioning that it was something to consider in the future if we have more trouble. I will call them in the future for any appliance problem I have. Very happy.

Dryer Vent Cleaning reviews from real Angi homeowners in Gardendale, AL
Charles came out and did a thorough inspection of my unit. After his inspection came in and sat down with me and went over his findings. My unit was in need of good cleaning and a contactor. I told Charles to go ahead and do what needed to be done. In no time Charles had my house cooling...
I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was fine. I paid about $120 over the price of the deal to clean the rest of the ducts that were not included in the Big Deal. I did not expect this cost. I have never used this company before. They were convenient.

One worker came to clean the HVAC air ducts, and arrived on time. He worked quickly and orderly, going room-by-room upstairs and then downstairs. He removed the vent plates in each room, vacuumed and cleaned the ducts, and replaced the plates. He used a drop cloth in areas where dust and...

"November 2024: After more than a decade of using AireServ as my primary HVAC company, with multiple new installs, I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1 star. Since the recent change in ownership at AireServ Over the Mountain, the quality and integrity of this company have collapsed. During a service call, in November, 2024, I was told every technician except one (Hoyt) has been with AireServ six months or less. In March of 2024 a technician serviced both units at my home but failed to seal the main level air exchanger properly. On November 8th, 2024, this error caused condensation, which led to a premature part failure. The technician admitted the mistake on-site. When the tech communicated this to the new owner, he refused to accept any responsibility whatsoever. The unit was under warranty, but I was charged $426.16 for labor, 20 minutes of work, because of their error. I told them then: they had just lost a customer of ten-plus years. August 28, 2025: Things have only gotten worse. Today, I received a call and text about a “maintenance appointment” that was never scheduled or authorized—followed by a $378 charge to my card. This kind of unauthorized billing never happened under previous ownership. This is fraudulent. I plan to dispute the charge and file a complaint with the Alabama Attorney General. My advice: With the new ownership, do not walk, run away from AireServ Over the Mountain before you regret it."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
Exhaust systems should be inspected annually to prevent efficiency loss and address any arising mechanical issues.
Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn’t open (or you’re not sure if it is or not), don’t start a fire to find out!
Clean lint traps, check hoses for wear, and avoid overloading to extend their lifespan.
The average cost of a dryer vent ranges from $100 to $300 for the various models, but that price doesn’t include installation. If you're hiring a pro, the labor cost to install a dryer vent will be an additional $20 to $35 per hour. The job takes roughly two to four hours, so that’s an extra $40 to $140 altogether.
No, air ducts and dryer vents are not the same. The dryer vent is connected to a specific appliance, the dryer, and is meant to direct the hot, moist air from the washed clothes to the outside of the home. Air ducts move air from the HVAC system around the home. It’s essential to schedule cleanings for the dryer vent and the air ducts.
