In January 2019, I hired Cowboy Heating and Air to install a new furnace and repair a water heater vent that was detached from the roof outlet. I confirmed by text message with Miguel, the estimator, that the vent was included in the quote. Nonetheless, the vent was not repaired, and Ariel, the...

Noel Hernandez promptly came to the rescue on a Saturday to let us know our dryer vent was clogged with lint and mold. He doesn't supply that service, but told us how to fix it and the simple $45 service charge and a bit of cleaning up by my husband got us back on track, fast. Thank you, Noel!...

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Dryers pull in air from a circular opening in the back of the dryer. The dryer's heating element heats the air, and a blower fan circulates the hot air through the drum. The hot air travels outside the dryer through a vent or is cooled by a heat exchanger that condenses the steam into water and sends it down a drainpipe or to a containment compartment.

Absolutely! Cleaning the interior of your dryer is crucial to maintain its efficiency and safety. As time goes by, lint, debris, and residues from dryer sheets tend to build up inside the drum, on the lint trap, and around the heating elements. Regular cleaning of the inside of the dryer prevents these particles from blocking the system, ensuring smooth airflow, and reducing the risk of fire hazards.

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.

Clean lint traps, check hoses for wear, and avoid overloading to extend their lifespan.

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!
