About us

Dryer Vent Wizard provides maintenance, inspection, cleaning, repairs, alterations and complete installation of dryer vent exhaust systems for residential and commercial properties. Dryer vent cleaning: - prevents clothes dryer fires - reduces energy bills - promotes faster drying time - reduces wear and tear on both your clothing and dryer appliance - prevents mold and mildew hazard. Clean dryer vents promote maximum air flow so your dryer is operating safely and efficiently. Clogged dryer ducts restrict air flow and cause your dryer to work harder to do its job. When dryer vents are clogged with lint, heat and moisture cannot escape and clothes take longer to dry. Proper dryer vent installation prevents dryer fires and helps reduce energy costs. When dryer vents are improperly installed, more energy is wasted and they can be a fire hazard. We install dryer vent systems according to current building and safety codes to ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently. Award winning.

Dryer Vent Wizard came to my home on Weds. July 11 to clean my dryer vent system. I am on the third floor of a walk-up condo building. Mory looked at the system and outside. He said he could clean the system from inside my condo, did not need access to the roof and quoted me a price. There is a $49 service call charge which was never mentioned, so be advised. I agreed and he went to get the equipment. He needed to use a small ladder I had. It made me a little nervous to see him perched on the ladder and my washing machine so I keep looking over to make sure he was safe. He said "people watching make me nervous" so I stopped (if you do hire, I advise watching anyway). After about 20 minutes he was done. Mory knew I was getting a new washer/dryer on Saturday. When the new washer/dryer came on Saturday the 14th, the old one was taken away. While the delivery/installers were taking the old one down, I looked into the accordion tubing that goes from the dryer to the vent. It had lint in it. So I stuck my hand on and was able to go midway up the tubing and pulled out nearly a vacuum canister full of lint. When the installers were attaching the new according tubing, I mentioned this and one said, "it looks like he hardly cleaned anything". I will admit that I did not get on the ladder and look into the vent system leading out so I cannot say what condition that is. However, after seeing all the lint left in the tubing and paying $274.00 for that, I am QUITE angry. I certainly feel I did not get a full service cleaning as contracted. "Mory contacted me and apologized for not completing the job as commissioned. He offered to return and do another cleaning but as I had the job finished when I had the new unit installed, there was no need. We made alternative arrangements which were satisfactory to both parties."

I would not do business with this company again. I scheduled an appointment for an estimate to install a new dryer vent in my condo. The technician, Mory, arrived and looked over the condo. At the end of the short visit, as he was going over the estimate he explained there would be a $49 "service fee" for the visit that I would have to pay immediately, regardless of whether I chose to have him actually perform the install or not. I expressed surprise as no one had mentioned the fee when I scheduled the appointment, to which Mory replied that they used to tell customers about the fee over the phone but found they would often cancel because of that, so their solution was just to not tell people until it was time to pay. This struck me as a very dishonest and shady practice since he acknowledged that people would not ask them to come out if they knew there was a service fee just for the visit. I ended up paying him the service fee but chose not to have Dryer Vent Wizard do the install, partially because of the surprise service fee, but mostly because his estimate was double what a licensed HVAC contractor quoted me for the same install job.

I called Dryer Vent Wizard and they are definitely a big operation with a central calling center it seemed. Which was fine. They scheduled our service date quickly on a day and time that was convenient for me to be home from work for a while. The serviceman who arrived was knowledgeable and quickly and easily resolved the issue. I’m sure he could have come up with some additional work to do to make some extra money but he didn’t. He was honest and the problem was literally fixed within a few minutes. Aside from the $49 fee to come out to the house, it was only $26 in labor and no parts. So my problem was fixed within days of me calling them for a total of $75. Would definitely hire again if needed in the future.

I couldn't get a quote over the phone so I didn't use them. They wanted all my contact info and to send out a technician before they would provide me with an estimate. EVERY other vent cleaning service I called provided me with an estimate over the phone.

Overall very good experience. Receptionist was able to schedule within a few days, at a time that worked for me. Mory (technician) called 30 minutes prior to arrival, explained the estimate, completed work well and quickly. Would call them again!

Dryer Vent Wizard cleaned our dryer vent on 2/1/17. The technician was punctual and all business. He was familiar with our building and moved quickly. My only complaint is that, when he moved the washing machine and dryer back into place, he did not re-balance our washing machine. It is SEVERELY out of balance and we're having a hard time getting it into balance. Also, they charged us $45 to clean the lint build up from inside the lint trap. It really wasn't that bad, so I don't think that it was almost $50 worth of work.

It went very well. After two previous appointments with another vendor that didn't work out, this exceeded expectations. He arrived ahead of schedule and performed the work in a professional and courteous manner.

Mory has a true passion for his work. He kindly called to check and see if he could come EARLY, which was fantastic and always appreciated. The work was done in a reasonable time and we had some good discussions about the quality and type of work that he does. I did not get quotes from other companies, and so I can not comment on the price of this service, but I would ask for his service again if it was needed.
