Dryer Vent Wizard did a great job. They cleaned my dryer vents (not an easy thing to do because of the location of my dryer) and installed new vent hoses. I will use them again.

No fuss, no muss. And greatly improved the performance of my dryer, which had been leaving clothes damp & necessitating a second time to get them dry. I took advantage of a Big Deal special price, but it would have been worth the full price.

We can do a thorough job of cleaning the line from the outside using our brush system and flexible rods. We measure the air flow before we start and when finished to make sure there is a big improvement. Keeping the dryer vent line cleaned on a regular basis makes a big difference on drying times. Regular reclean prices are discounted 30% off first time visits. Thanks for your business!

My dryer vent is very long and has several 90-degree turns. We had never had it cleaned and the entire venting was full of lint.We were experiencing intermittent leaking in our basement from the condensation in the venting. Our dryer also was not drying nearly as well. This company was wonderful. I am sure our visit was a bigger job but the man who came out could not have been more pleasant. They did an amazing job and I'd certainly use them again and would recommend them to others. All our problems have been resolved!

The pleated pipes are not safe or up to code. They are also known as foil or plastic and they reduce air flow and are a fire hazard. It is good that upgraded to a safer connection and your dryer will work more efficiently as well. Thank you for the business!

Thank you for your feedback and business. Some jobs are easier than others. But the technicians really are experts at what they do so they are very efficient. Still, we sometimes have some challenging jobs that can take hours. We never know what we are getting into until we check out the vent lines in the home. Thanks again, Rick

Response from Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Ohio
I am sorry to hear you feel ripped off with the service fee. There are many service companies that charge a service fee - most appliance repair companies do charge a service fee and it is often much more than our service fee. For example, there is a well known national appliance repair company that charges over $100 as a service fee which is also on top of other services they provide. Our service fee covers the cost and time to drive to your home and perform a 10 point inspection before we start. The 10 point inspection includes a line inspection which sometimes has us crawling in attics, crawlspaces, etc. to check the condition of the dryer vent line before we do anything and to point out any fire safety issue. So, sometimes the inspection may take 15 to 30 minutes alone before we do anything. We also measure the air flow before we start and when we are finished to make sure the air flow has improved from when we started. We do offer a lifetime guarantee option for $29 which waives any future service fees for recleans or any future work we may need to do. We do warranty our work and will return for no charge if there are any issues in the first 90 days after we have been to your home. I hope this provides some additional insight on our reasons for the service fee.

I had a bird get in to my dryer vent system and die, and this proceeded to stink up the vent system, my dryer, and part of my house. I say vent "system" because my laundry room is located in the middle of the first floor of my home and the vent exit itself is located outside at the peak of my house, resulting in a Z-shaped maze of ductwork approx. 40 ft. in total length. I contacted Dryer Vent Wizard to see if they could handle such a problem and within 2 hours their technician, James, arrived. Initially he hooked up their lint-cleaning blower to see if the bird could be blown out, but to no avail, only a tiny bit of lint was blown out (I regularly clean my ductwork myself, so this was no surprise). Next, he used a series of long, flexible brushes to try and clear the ductwork. After quite a bit of effort, James was finally able to dislodge the "foul fowl", and using his blower at the other end he got the bird out. He then brushed the entire length of my ductwork again from both ends to make sure and remove any "residuals" left behind by the bird. Finally, he installed a "bird proof" double-doored vent exit cover to keep future invaders out. I can't say enough good things about Dryer Vent Wizard, and especially their tech, James ! He definitely had to go above and beyond on this job, and it wasn't a pleasant one either.

Thank you for your comments. Birds are a nuisance with dryer vents and can leave behind bacteria that can cause hystoplasmosis (a lung ailment). So it is important to keep the birds out, not only for fire safety issues (blocking the line with a nest can cause a dryer to overheat and possibly catch fire), but for personal health issues. Long lines like you have should be cleaned annually. Actually, you could use a booster fan. Dryer vent lines longer than 25' should have a booster fan installed to help pull lint through the lines. Thanks for your comments and business! Rick Gutridge, Owner

Bought a package as an Angie's List Deal. They got a lot of lint out. Amazing how much gets stuck. They installed a new cap on the outside of the house, replacing the louvered one the house builder installed. The new one has a flap to keep birds out, and opens wide to allow exhaust out. No sign of buildup since they cleaned it. They disassembled and cleaned the dryer well. Everything was wiped down when they were done. My only complaint, and very minor was that when I spoke with them I told them that my vent was very high on the house, coming out just above the 2nd story. The tech showed up and only had an 18 foot ladder. He had to reschedule for another day and brought a 30 footer with him. I know to specifically remind them of this next time. The tech cleaned the dryer on the 1st trip. He recommended the flap replacement (lint was visibly packing it when viewed from the ground). He also recommended I replace the cheap thin foil flex tube from the dryer to the wall with a rigid tube. I picked up a new tube at a local big box store for quite a bit less than they wanted, but bought and had them install the new flapper. Very nice job, and they'll be coming back soon... I've put this off long enough, and it could keep the house from burning.

Thank you for your feedback and your business. We try to get enough information at first to bring the correct ladder size. Apparently, we did not record the need for a longer ladder on the first appointment. My apologies. We have a 20' ladder that fits on the vans nicely and always have that. We carry the longer ladder when we know we need it. Again, thanks for your business and we will try to do a better job of bringing the correct ladder size next time. Rick Gutridge, Owner

This is the second time I've used this company to clean out my dryer vent. The service man was on time and very polite and professional. The first time he came out a couple of years ago, it was from an Angie's List special. Turns out that my dryer vent was not the kind that could be cleaned (it was a foil kind). So instead of cleaning it, he replaced it with a much better vent system. That would have cost a lot more than a cleaning, but he honored the price from the cleaning special anyway, which was great! For the second visit, he was able to do a regular cleaning. He was on time and professional. My dryer vent was definitely in need of cleaning. The dryer definitely drys faster after he does the cleaning. He also cleans around the dryer so it looks better than it did when he arrived. Very satisfied with their service and will have them out again in the future.

Thank you for your comments and for continued business. Dryer vent manufacturers recommend the dryer vent lines be cleaned annually. A lot of that depends on the amount of laundry and length of the line. So, for longer vent lines (over 8'), and if you do a lot of laundry, especially heavy loads like towels, sheets, jeans, etc., it is a good idea to clean on an annual basis. Thank you again! Rick

We wanted to replace our foil dryer vent with an aluminum one that can be cleaned. We called this company and got scheduled for an installation within a week. The technician was prompt and courteous. He advised that our exterior vent door also needed to be replaced, so we agreed that he should do that replacement as well. The entire procedure took less than an hour. The vent door was $67. The installation was $235. With the Angie's List coupon, the total was $327. He gave us an estimate before he started the work, and he was professional and clear in his explanations throughout.

It went great. James was here around two hours and never stopped working the entire time.
Description of Work: The technician, James, came in and evaluated the situation. He pulled out the dryer and searched outside for the venting exit. After surveying all the hoses, he made a recommendation to clean the vent which was entirely packed with lint and animal hair and replace the vent hose, which was the foil type flexible hose with a more rigid hose that is least likely to cause a fire in the future. After blowing out the lint, etc that was packed in the vent, James showed me the results (it looked like an inch of dirty snow). With all the cleaning and replacements the dryer is working like it used to when it was new.

Thank you for the feedback. We try to clean the lint up as much as possible when we are cleaning a line. Sometimes the wind blows it or it is raining but maybe we didn't do as good as job as normal when cleaning up. I will mention this to my techs to reiterate the need to be as clean as possible.

I called this company and asked if they could install a vent for my dryer. I was given an estimate overthe phone and made an appointment for service the next day. The service person arrived on timeand proceeded to the task.He explained what he had to do and sent overthe quoted cost before proceedint. The installation was completed promptly and professionally. I would use this service again.
Description of Work: I had just moved into a condo and had a dryer that needed a vent installed. Although I have done this before myself and had the flexible tubing to use, I decided to have it done professionally. He brought a much better vent, much safer, cleaned out any remaining dust from my dryer and installed a much sturdier vent. The time from start to finish was only 30 minutes.
