Dryer Vent Cleaning

Why Clean Your Dryer Vent?

Regular dryer vent cleaning is crucial for several reasons:

• Safety Concerns: A blocked dryer duct can lead to lint buildup inside the dryer appliance, creating a significant fire hazard.
• Dryer Efficiency: Restricted airflow causes your dryer to run longer and work harder, reducing the appliance’s lifespan.
• Energy Savings: Decreasing the time it takes to dry your clothes will lower your energy bill.

The Air Doctor Standards

 Air Doctor adheres to NADCA standard specification guide and uses the source removal method. We use a portable HEPA filtered air duct vacuum system (and/or gas-powered commercial air duct vacuums) to clean all supply ducts, return air ducts, and plenums. This system is brought into each room and used in conjunction with a compressed air whip (and/or rotating power brushes). The air whip agitates the duct while the HEPA filtered air duct vacuum system creates a negative vacuum at 3500 cfm (up to 10,000 cfm with our gas-powered commercial air duct vacuums). Once each supply air duct is cleaned, the return air system is cleaned in the same fashion. Finally, we clean the furnace unit.
