Keep your laundry routine safe and efficient with dryer vent cleaning from Total Air & Heat. Serving Plano and nearby communities since 1957, our eagle-eyed techs help homeowners cut down on dry times, lower energy use, and reduce fire hazards caused by lint buildup.
Why Clean Your Dryer Vent?
A clogged vent does more than slow down laundry day. Lint buildup is flammable and contributes to thousands of house fires each year. Poor airflow also forces your dryer to work harder, costing more money on utilities and shortening the appliance’s life.
- 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
- Damp clothes after a full cycle
- Heat or humidity in your laundry room
- A burning smell when the dryer is running
- Lint collecting around the vent cover
- A vent flap outside that doesn’t open properly
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.
