Will the technician clean the house exhaust duct during dryer maintenance?
During dryer maintenance, the technician will inspect the house exhaust duct to ensure it's in good condition and advise you if it needs cleaning. However, dryer vent duct cleaning is not included as part of the regular dryer maintenance service. If the duct requires cleaning, you can schedule it as a separate service.
Keeping the dryer vent duct clean helps improve both safety and efficiency. A clogged vent can reduce the dryer’s performance, increase energy costs, and even pose a fire hazard. If it's been a while since your last cleaning, we recommend scheduling a dryer vent duct cleaning to keep your dryer operating safely and efficiently.
