Dryer Vent Cleaning: Experts
How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?
In the Hamilton area, professional dryer vent cleaning runs $219–$369 on its own, or $99–$325 as an add-on to a furnace and duct cleaning, depending on where the dryer sits and where the vent exits. Beware of quotes far below that — a proper clean covers the full vent run to the exterior, not just the lint trap.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
- Loads take more than 30 minutes to dry
- The dryer is hot to the touch or shuts off mid-cycle
- A burning smell when it runs
- Lint collecting around the outside exhaust flap
- It’s been more than a year — annual cleaning is the safety standard
Why is this the cheapest fire prevention you can buy
Lint slips past the trap on every cycle and packs into the duct run. It’s extremely flammable — and a blocked vent also makes the dryer run hotter and longer, which means higher electricity bills and a shorter dryer life on top of the fire risk. Our technicians clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior exhaust with truck-mounted vacuum power — see how our process works.
