A Clean Dryer Vent Saves Money and Helps Prevent House Fires
It’s been more than two hours and your clothes still are damp. If this sounds familiar, it could be time for you to have your dryer vent cleaned. If you are sure that your clothes dryer is warming up (maybe even too hot) and your clothes are tumbling, you may have a lint filled, plugged-up dryer duct. Time to call in the professional at Twin Cities Duct Cleaning.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Shortens Drying Times, Saves You Money and Prevents Fires!
Dryer Vent Cleaning Prices
The cost of dryer vent cleaning varies widely from one company to the next. Another point to consider is who is doing the work. An appliance repair technician is considerably more expensive than a professional dryer vent cleaning company like Twin Cities Duct Cleaning. Dryer vent cleaning prices seem to vary from $65 when included with another service already being performed at your home (duct cleaning for example), to $199 if a special trip is made by a repaiman. Companies will often charge more for dryer vents which are seriously plugged or have long runs. Fore example, a dryer vent which is vented to the other side of the house, two stories up and out through the roof will be charged more. That said, it’s quite rare when we see that. Most are pretty straight forward and are charged the quoted rate.
Look for a company that will give you a guaranteed quote on dryer vent cleaning. If the duct cleaning company needs to come out to do an inspection and give a quote, expect to pay a lot more. At DuctCleaningTwinCities.com the price is always guaranteed; $65 when included with air duct cleaning, or $99 for dryer vent cleaning only. Remember, the same equipment which is used for duct cleaning is also used to clean dryer vents, so there is minimal setup required if we are alrady doing a duct cleaning or furnace cleaning.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Benefits:
- Faster drying times – the damp air is vented outdoors instead of recirculating within the tumble chamber.
- A clean clothes dryer vent consumes less energy – The longer it takes to dry your clothes, the more energy you use. Most homeowners realize more than enough energy savings in just the first 3 months to pay for the service call!
- House fire hazard avoided – the lint which has built-up over time in the heating chamber and dryer vent is removed, eliminating spontaneous combustion due to excessive heat.

Duct Cleaning – RotoBrush Method
Price $249.95 Special $189.00
- Step 1. – Our technicians first attach a high powered vacuum to the main trunk line leading to your furnace.
- Step 2. – Next, they go to each branch line and use a tool called an air-wand. The air-wand uses highly compressed air to push all the debris down to the main trunk-lines where the vacuum hose is creating negative-pressure to draw all debris to our van mounted equipment.
- Step 3. – Once they have completed the initial air sweep, an item called a Rotary-Brush with a reverse nozzle will be used. It will be inserted into the trunk line where the brush will rotate inside the air ducts. This rotating brush “scrubs” the walls clean, removing anything that is stuck on, or otherwise attached to the walls of the air ducts. Once the ductwork has been scrubbed clean, they continue on to Step 4 using compressed air to pull the dust and debris that was removed from the side walls of the trunk lines and any other debris which might have been knocked loose with the rotary brush, back out to the vacuum using Step 2 mentioned above.
- Step 4. – When the technicians have completed the initial air sweep and “RotoBrushing” the walls of the duct work, they will go to the bottom of the furnace with a 25-ft rotary air-wand, also known as an air-snake, with a reverse nozzle. This creates a tornado effect in the duct work, removing all residue from the sides of the air ducts. This will pull any remaining dust and debris back to the vacuum. The vacuum is “pulling” while the air-wand is “pushing” and it does a very effective job on light dust, dirt and debris.
If it has been a while since your air ducts were cleaned, you should definitely consider using the Rotary Brush Method. Unlike many of our competitors, we brush all your air vents and we clean all return lines and supply lines within your household.
