Call to Schedule
It’s been one year after they replaced all my AC vents and I still look forward to a reason to call their office as view their office staff more like “friends with incredible HVAC knowledge”!!!
This is the best run service company that I have ever dealt with, by far!
Subsequently it was determined that I needed a new system. Robert took the time to thoroughly assess the whole cooling system including ducts etc. He provided options and walked me through all of the "whys" and "wherefores" so that I had a good understanding. He was very knowledgeable and congenial.
And Noah and the installation crew for the new system were outstanding. Thorough, knowledgeable, courteous, and all of that working on a day of extreme Texas heat. Good job all!
Why Clean Your Dryer Vent?
- Faster dry times
- Lower energy bills
- Less wear on your dryer
- Safer air circulation with reduced humidity and mildew risk
Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

- Heat or humidity in your laundry room
- A burning smell when the dryer is running

If it’s been over a year since your last cleaning, it’s time to schedule service. Larger families or homes with pets may need cleaning every 6–9 months.
Our Cleaning Process
We don’t just vacuum around the dryer—we clear the entire vent line. Here’s how we do it:
Safety Check – We disconnect the dryer, inspect the setup, and confirm it’s safe to proceed.
Brush & Rod Cleaning – Long rotary brushes loosen lint, pet hair, and other debris.
Vacuum Extraction – A high-powered vacuum removes the loosened material.
Exterior Vent Service – We check the vent hood, damper, and remove any nests or blockages.
Airflow Testing – Measurements confirm that your dryer is venting properly.
Recommendations – If we find unsafe ducts or poor connections, we’ll let you know and suggest upgrades.
When the job is done, we leave the area clean and share before-and-after results with you.
