VentNducT

Over time, lint builds up in the vent and blocks the warm, humid air from getting out. Your dryer works harder, takes longer to dry, and uses more energy. Most importantly, a clogged vent is one of the most common causes of house fires: cleaning it is a matter of safety first and foremost.

Generally, we recommend doing it once a year for a typical home. If you've got a big family, a long duct or one with lots of bends, or you run a lot of loads, it may be worth doing it more often. We can help you figure out the right schedule for your situation.

Clothes that come out damp or take two cycles to dry, a dryer that's unusually hot to the touch, a burning or hot smell, and lint piling up around the door or the outside vent. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to have the vent checked.

Yes. Lint is highly flammable, and when the warm air can't get out, the heat stays trapped in the duct and in the appliance. Removing that buildup takes away the fuel and lets the heat escape the way it's supposed to. It's one of the simplest, most concrete things you can do to make your home safer.

Yes. We install a brand-new fan where there isn't one, replace old noisy or inefficient models, and maintain the ones already in place. We make sure the air is properly vented outside, and not just dumped into the attic where it would cause problems.

A lot. A shower puts out a huge amount of steam, and without good ventilation, that moisture settles on the walls, the ceiling and in the corners, which eventually leads to mould. An effective fan clears the moisture out quickly and keeps your bathroom healthier and drier.

A dryer vent cleaning is usually done in a single visit, in a few hours depending on the length and layout of the duct. Installing or replacing a bathroom exhaust fan varies depending on the access and the wiring. We'll give you a clear idea of the expected time before we start.
