"Honestly, I really wish I could give a better review. Most of the people we have worked with at Dalton have been very polite and they always come out to work on our systems. They installed our grandmothers system so we decided to go with them as well. Unfortunately we paid for a new heat pump system (A/C/Furnace Combo) and since it's been installed they've had to come out 5 or 6 times now. the first four times were because settings were improperly configured on the circuit board of the furnace unit. Each time they came out they had different techs with them saying different things. First the furnace wasn't adequately cooling the house and the noise coming from it was really obnoxious. So we had issues with cooling, now we go to test the furnace to make sure we have heat for the cold nights that are coming and we have no heat. The breaker outside had to be replaced, the unit won't pull gas. It's just been a mess. One of the technicians straight up gaslit us insisting that the sound our furnace was making was "normal as far as I can tell" and tried refusing to come service it, saying he wanted to get a factory representative, but then when he showed up he agreed it was too loud, did a little research and fixed the problem (without the factory rep). Like come on guys. We spent like almost 15 grand with you and this is how we get treated? We just want our stuff to work. Customer service is not what this review is based on, we have a 15 thousand dollar piece of metal that doesn't function properly and, unfortunately, that is a bigger deal to me than a rude technician. It has been months since this was installed, it needs to be remedied I'm getting sick of this. Update: they replaced the furnace completely. As of tonight it is still not functioning as advertised. Don’t buy a heat pump system here, it’s not worth the trouble. I also really like how the owner responds to all these nice reviews but hasn't had anything to say about the horrible experience we've had. Real cool."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to clean your dryer vent yourself in most cases, but it’s usually best to leave this important task to a professional. If you make a mistake when reinstalling the vent, you could kink it, which makes it easier for a blockage to form. Instead, call in a professional annually to do a thorough cleaning and an inspection. They will make sure there are no kinks in the vent that could promote blockages in addition to cleaning it. If your vent runs through a wall, you’ll need help from a professional regardless.

The ideal time for dryer vent cleaning is typically during the spring or fall. These seasons offer moderate weather conditions, making it easier to access the exterior vent and work on the dryer without the extreme heat of summer or cold of winter. However, the timing can also depend on your usage patterns. If you use your dryer heavily year-round, consider scheduling cleanings more frequently, perhaps every six months, to prevent lint buildup and reduce fire risks. Ultimately, there is no wrong time of year to prioritize safety.

Yes, you can snake a roof vent. This is one of the best ways to clear a problematic clog in a plumbing vent. You can either snake the vent by climbing on the roof and sending the plumber’s snake or auger directly down the vent opening, or you can cut a hole in the vent from inside the attic and snake it from there.

You should not put boric acid into your home’s air vents. While sprinkling boric acid in roach-prone areas is an effective way to get rid of them, it’s not safe to introduce those chemicals into your home’s air system. Instead, put boric acid or diatomaceous earth in a spot that roaches may walk through, infesting them and the rest of the infestation.

Professionals use specialized tools, such as high-powered vacuums and brushes, to clear lint and debris from the vent system, ensuring its safe and efficient operation.
