Q: Are air ducts and dryer vents the same?

• <div><p>No, air ducts and dryer vents are not the same. The dryer vent is connected to a specific appliance, the dryer, and is meant to direct the hot, moist air from the washed clothes to the outside of the home. Air ducts move air from the HVAC system around the home. It&rsquo;s essential to schedule cleanings for the dryer vent and the air ducts. </p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of the smell in my dryer?

• <div><p>If you're dealing with an odor in your dryer that transfers onto your clothes and linens, here's what you can do: start by cleaning the lint trap and drum with warm soapy water. Then wipe down the interior using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to eliminate any lingering odors.</p><p>To get rid of odors you can try this method: take a cloth soaked in vinegar and put it inside the dryer. Run the dryer on a heat setting for 15 minutes. Afterward, make sure to dry the drum by running it with some towels. This technique helps eliminate any smells and leaves your dryer smelling nice and fresh.</p><p>If the odors remain, you may need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sanitize-dryer.htm">sanitize your dryer</a> or call in a professional house cleaner to handle the job.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a leaf blower to clean a dryer vent?

• <div><p>Using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent is not recommended. While it might seem like a quick solution, it can push lint and debris further into the vent, creating a blockage, making the problem worse, and posing a fire hazard. The force from the blower could also damage the vent itself. For a safe and effective cleaning, it is better to use specialized tools, such as a dryer vent cleaning kit with a rotating brush head that scrubs the lint from the ductwork. Alternatively, hiring a professional will ensure the vent is cleaned thoroughly and safely.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of too much humidity in a room?

• <div><p>Excessive humidity in a room often manifests through visible signs like condensation on windows or walls, a musty or damp odor lingering in the air, peeling wallpaper or paint, and the presence of mold or mildew. Experiencing discomfort due to a consistently clammy or sticky feeling can also indicate high humidity levels.</p></div>

"The young man who cleaned the vents and the HVAC filters in the attic was professional and timely. I'm not an expert in grading this service, but I presume he was thorough. The service took about 2 hours. I gave them a B for only two reasons: they rescheduled several times, and he tried to sell me a $350 seal/sanitize package, which I declined. I do plan to use them for HVAC cleaning twice a year.

"Omar and his crew were awesome! I got a call almost immediately following my search in Angie’s list. We set an appointment for the next day, they gave me a fantastic estimate, and we scheduled for the next week. The crew showed up right on time, set up protective equipment for my house and got right to it. If I needed this type of work done again they would absolutely be the people I call. Very quick, clean, well priced, professional, and even fixed some things the other insulators broke in my house without fixing. They worked quickly and took care of my home. They were very competitively priced and did an outstanding job. Omar and his crew do great work."

"Our refrigerator died while we were out of town. We called Appliance Fixx the next day; even though they are not in Dallas, they had a repairman in the area that day and were able to work us in. It turned out that the compressor was fine, just a part that activates the compressor had failed. He repaired it on the spot.
However, that part failed a week later! Must've been a manufacturing defect. They company scheduled and sent the repairman out again -- it took some time -- and he replaced it again with no additional charges. It has been fine since.
