Should You Have a Professional...

A friend of ours recently told us that his dryer was overheating and the repairman said it was because the vent was clogged. We are now worried about our appliances. Has anyone in Toronto had this problem before? Is it worth calling a separate company to clean it or are regular HVAC services enough?

I also wondered how often the dryer ventilation should be cleaned. I heard that blockages can not only reduce efficiency, but also cause a fire. I think it is important to figure out who does a better job - specialized companies or regular services.

We had a scare last winter when our dryer overheated, and the technician warned us about excessive lint buildup. We did some research and found a company that does professional dryer vent cleaning in Toronto. They came in, inspected everything, and gave us a full report. They cleaned not just the vent but also the exterior exhaust outlet, which we didn’t even know needed attention. The dryer now works faster, and we feel much safer using it. The cost was reasonable, and the service was quick and clean. If you’re in Toronto, I’d recommend going with a dedicated cleaning company rather than general HVAC services.
