Information on Dryer Vent Cleaning

Q: Why do I need to clean my dryer vents regularly?

A: Three main reasons:

1. Most importantly, dirty or clogged vents are a MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. Dryer vents are one of the leading causes of home fires. Lint and even animals can cause back ups in areas of the vent which can lead to disastrous home fires.
2. Your clothes will dry much quicker with a clean vent.
3. Your energy bills will be higher with a clogged or dirty vent.

Q: How much does a typical dryer vent cost to clean?

A: On average, to clean only the dryer vent, the price ranges from $175-249 depending on factors such as: length, complexity, and where it exits the home. However, if you add the dryer vent to the whole house duct cleaning, the price is typically $50-99. This makes it more cost effective to have both services done at the same time.

In recent years, cleaning dryer vents has grown immensely popular. In fact, many states, cities, and municipalities now mandate dryer vent cleaning in some residential units that share dryer vent ducts due to the risk of fire. Additionally, most home insurance companies place a high priority on informing their clients of the requirement for a clean dryer vent.
