Keeping your home safe can be as simple as paying attention to your dryer vent.

Built-up lint doesn’t just make your dryer work harder; it can also raise the risk of a fire, increase your power bill, and wear out your machine faster. A professional cleaning clears the vent from both the outside and behind the dryer, removes hidden lint, and checks that everything runs smoothly.

Watch for signs like longer drying times, extra heat in the laundry room, a burning smell, or lint where it shouldn’t be. If you notice any of these, it may be time to schedule a cleaning.

Replace vinyl dryer hoses immediately. The example pictured shows scorch marks from a fire, and these hoses become brittle and break over time.

For safety, replace them with a semi-rigid metal transition hose, not the thin foil 'slinky' style. The customer was very lucky to avoid a house fire.

We removed a dryer vent brush for a customer. They tried the Do-It-Yourself dryer vent brush from the hardware store. The rod came unscrewed. We had to go into the attic, take apart the duct and reassemble the duct to get it out.

Normally we would have gone on the roof, but the shingles on this roof were concrete and would snap like a cracker.

If you use this type of brush, make sure you tape the rod connections together and never run the drill in reverse.

These filters were in a Roof Top Unit (RTU) on a commercial building.
There was a fire and the duct mounted smoke detectors did not work.
Seven of the 13 RTUs continued to operate during the fire.

The HVAC units acted as smoke distribution systems. The soot is both corrosive and carcinogenic.

Why would some one install this snorkel like duct on the exhaust of an roof Top HVAC unit?

This happens when architects and builders do not think about safe placement of multiple RTU's on commercial roofs.

Watch and see why.

This is the most disgusting air duct I have seen. This is a return air duct at a local restaurant. This is combination of grease and dust accumulated over 10 years. The duct was uncleanable and we are replacing it instead.

Planet Duct cleaned the commercial air ducts at Angelos which is taking over the previous Old Chicago location at Woomen and I-25.

When you have air ducts that need to be cleaned, choose a NADCA certified company, not a carpet cleaner or amatuer with weak equipment and no skills.

Huge Win for Planet Duct. We saved this squirrel from a furnace exhuast duct tonight. He was very tired from trying not to fall into the inducer motor.
Once we got him some more oxygen, he was ready to put up a fight. Mr squirrel was released safely and the homeowner was very happy.
