Whether you need a simple cleaning or a new heating and cooling system to provide comfort in your home, Total Comfort NWI is your local professional. I often hear people say it’s not personal, it’s business. Well, business is personal. I started Total Comfort NWI on March 31, 2010, in the worst economy of many of our lifetimes. I knew there would always be a market for better furnace and air conditioning service. Thankfully I was right: we have grown slowly in spite of the recession. Today we are blessed to have the best customers we could ask for. I promise to our customers: No service call fee with any paid repair. We will provide a full diagnosis and provide you with repair options. Our goal is to provide you with choices so YOU can decide what is best for your home and comfort. I have worked for other local companies in the past and it feels great to have the personal satisfaction generated by the way we do things. To know we actually helped people and didn’t just do what was profitable. I believe business can be so much more. I love taking my little girl to your house to trick-or-treat, and being invited to your child’s graduation open house. It is personal because it is MY business. Which would you prefer? I hope God blesses you as he has embraced me! Peter Katschke – Owner

"All went well they replaced two systems for me one at my house and the other at my mom's arrived on time and technicians were very professional and polite got the job done in a timely manner and provided help with how to use the new thermostat overall very satisfied I even had problems with my thermostat just this past month and they came out and took care of it for me without hesitation ??"

Your family owned fireplace & chimney service. We are small enough to care and big enough to give you a good quality service, offering free estimates and you can also call us for advise on any fireplace & chimney questions.

"We called them out for a chimney sweep and inspection as well as a dryer vent cleaning. Upon inspecting the fireplace and chimney, we were told that the chimney was clean and did not need serviced. We were advised that the chimney needed a new cap, but the fireplace was too old to get parts for and they would not use aftermarket parts. The fireplace was installed in 1996. They provided us with a quote to replace the fireplace for $18,500 all due to a missing cap! Upon having another contractor inspect the fireplace, we were advised that the fireplace was fine and only needed some minor repairs. We also did some research online and found that the parts that they told us were no longer available, can still be purchased! They charged us $400 to NOT sweep the chimney and give us an outrageous quote, which was not needed! Now, on to the dryer vent... They inspected the dryer vent and advised it could not be cleaned as it was a flexible vent hose and not a solid pipe. They gave us an estimate for another $1200 to put in a solid vent pipe and still charged us $150! They did nothing except give us a quote! Totally unacceptable! We spoke with the owner about these ridiculous charges and he was totally unwilling to work with us on what we were charged. This is a horrible company to deal with and has some very shady businesss practices. Beware! They WILL try to scam you for as much as possible!"

Absolutely Dry serves residential and commercial property owners who have experienced a disaster by providing the necessary emergency service damage control and follow-up repairs. We offer a wide range of services including, but not limited to the following:

"NEVER hire this company!!! I rated them F, because there is not lower rating to choose from. I had a fire in a barn with a huge amount of property in it. I hired Absolutely Dry to take care of the clean-up and provide 2 inventories (for my insurance company) of the items that were: 1. Salvageable – Items they took to their shop to be cleaned & later returned. 2. Non-Salvageable – Items that they deemed not salvageable. These were items the insurance company was to pay the “replacement value” of; regardless of whether to not I kept them. They were supposed to provide the above lists and pictures of every item they touched. The list of Non-Salvageable items was over 1,300 items long. The list of Salvageable items was over 300 items long. Thus, there were over 1,600 items they touched, according to their inventories. They gave me copies of about 1,300 pictures, which is about 300 short of the total Items. They provided no cross reference of the photos to the items on the list. Making the photos totally useless, because there was no way to determine what photos related to what items. Also, there were multiple photos of some items; therefore, there is no way they even provided photos of all the 1,600 items, even if I tried to cross reference them. I later noticed that they missed a leather couch, refrigerator, 4 mattresses/box springs, and other less significant items from the list. If they missed such obvious items, there is no way I can rely on their list being complete. When I objected, they sent me a hand-written list and expected me to figure out what else was missed and refused to help beyond that, in any way. When they 1st started, it was extremely cold; so, they brought in a large diesel heater to heat up the barn and start getting things dried. However, they never even turned it on. When they brought in the heater, they backed it into the yard in the snow (without bothering to check what was under the snow) and broke a stained-glass stepping-stone that I was promised I would be reimbursed for. They now refuse to pay for it. There was a Sycle in the barn that was over 100 years old, with all the parts. I payed between $60 & $100 for it. One night after they were gone for the day, I placed the Sycle on their table for processing. A month later, I found it outside, under a tarp, in the mud, with the handle broken and one of the attachments missing. The handle was the most valuable part of it. They refuse to pay for it also. To be honest, they never promised to pay for it, but I think it is fair that they do, because of their completely negligent treatment of this item. I tried to get this resolve with the help of the BBB, but they responded with lies. Thus, I got nowhere."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You have two different types of air vents in your home: supply and return air vents. Your supply air vents are responsible for pushing air into your home. Meanwhile, return air vents draw warmer air back into the ductwork to condition it by removing the warm molecules from it. Both types of vents are necessary to a working HVAC system and a comfortable home.

Odors, humidity problems, and health symptoms like headaches or allergies.

Using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent isn't a good idea. Theoretically, the leaf blower should push the lint and debris toward the exterior vent opening, helping it exit. That's usually not what happens, though. 

Instead, the lint can get stuck further in the vent, creating a blockage and making the problem worse. You need a scrubbing tool, such as the rotating brush head on a dryer cleaning kit, to push the lint out of the ductwork.

Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren’t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but—more importantly—it also poses a health risk.

Your dryer vent hose should be as straight as you can possibly get it. A straight vent means less lint buildup in the hose. If the hose has a lot of bends and turns, it’s much easier and much more likely for lint to get stuck along the line, meaning you’ll have to clean it out a lot more often to decrease the risk of a total blockage or a fire.
