He cleaned every HVAC vent and ducting, the dryer vent and replaced the ducting between the dryer and the wall connection, all bathroom exhaust vents and the furnace blower and exchanger. Super clean. I was amazed on how much crud cam our of our systems. Excellent attention to details."

"These guys are just excellent! I made a few mistakes before I got lucky to find New Millennium HVAC. They were professional from the beginning to the end. Jose did a thorough job, cleaning the dryer vent. It was not a straightforward issue and I was afraid that we’d have to open the wall to cure the blockage. However, Jose was able to fix it. He’s an experienced professional excellent at his job, trustworthy and overall great to deal with. I’m a happy customer for years now and will rely on these guys for any HVAC related issues."

"We retained Mike to replace our dryer vent and extension. He gave us a quote to bring our system up to code, which I thought was quite reasonable. He kept us posted in advance of the appointment as to when he would arrive, then arrived promptly. Mike did a fantastic job, and ended up charging us less than the quoted price while still bringing our dryer venting system up to code. He then went the extra mile, offering to come back next week to replace our washer hoses for the cost of the hoses so we can turn our washer and make it more accessible. They don’t make ‘em like Mike anymore. I wish we could clone him and have his expertise for all our fix-it needs."

"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

To maintain your washer and dryer, regularly clean the lint traps, filters, and vents. Also, check the hoses for wear, avoid overloading the machines, and ensure loads are balanced. These practices help optimize performance, prevent future issues, and extend the lifespan of your appliances.

Professionals use specialized tools to clean dryer vents effectively. These tools typically include a combination of flexible rods and brushes designed to navigate the vent's twists and turns. The brushes dislodge and loosen lint and debris, while the rods help extend the reach through the vent. High-powered vacuums with HEPA filters are also used to capture and remove the dislodged lint and particles, ensuring a thorough cleaning. In some cases, professionals may employ video inspection cameras to assess the condition of the vent and confirm that it's entirely clean.

Dryer vent cleaning costs around $150 on average, and most homeowners pay between $75 and $350 for the service. There are a few factors that affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Length of the dryer vent

  • Whether the vent is rigid or flexible

  • Accessibility of your dryer vent

  • Amount of lint needed to remove from the vent

According to the Department of Energy, around 15,000 house fires are started every year from clogged dryer vents. It might seem expensive, but dryer vent cleaning can help you avoid severe house fires, injury, and even death.

Depending on how much you use it, your dryer should be disinfected about every six to 12 months, especially if you see frequent buildup of lint or evidence of stains from fabric bleeding or ink. 

Other signs you should sanitize your dryer more often are overheating, improper drying, excessive humidity, or if you notice a strange odor when it’s running.

There are a few things you can look out for that indicate it’s time to clean your dryer vent, including the following:

  • It has been a year or more since the last professional cleaning.

  • Your clothes are taking longer to dry than usual.

  • Your clothes smell musty or burnt when they come out of the dryer.

  • You see lint building up around the outside dryer vent cap.

  • Your laundry room is unusually hot.

  • Your dryer is unusually hot to the touch during operation.

  • You notice a kink in or damage to the vent.
