Burning Smell at the Dryer?

Stop the dryer first. Then here is what you can safely check and what to leave alone. Call 859-324-2770 when it is safe.

What to check yourself
Does the outside vent flap open when the dryer runs
Is the lint screen clean and undamaged
Is the hose behind the dryer crushed, kinked, or pulled loose
Do loads take two cycles to dry
What to leave alone
Do not keep running a dryer that is hot to the touch on the outside.
Do not use a plastic or foil accordion hose as a permanent fix. It crushes easily and traps lint.
Do not leave the dryer running while nobody is home.
If you have a gas dryer and smell gas

Leave the house first, then call the gas company, then call us. Nothing else on this page matters more than that.

Dryer Vents and Ductwork Are Different Jobs

Both move air through your home, and they fail differently. Knowing which one is the problem changes what we check first.

Dryer vent

Carries hot, lint-filled air out of the house. When it clogs, the dryer runs longer, the laundry room heats up, and the fire risk climbs. Cleaning gets it flowing again, and a damaged run gets replaced.

Ductwork

Carries heated and cooled air to every room. Leaks, crushed sections, and runs that were never sized right show up as the one room that is always too hot in summer and too cold in winter. We repair ducts. We do not offer duct cleaning.

Both get the same inspection and the same written price. Neither gets guessed at.

Questions

What People Ask About Dryer Vents and Ducts

Answered plainly, before you book anything.

Ask us anything else, 859-324-2770
01

Do you replace dryer vents or only clean them?

Both. Cleaning is often all a vent needs. If it is damaged, we replace it.

02

How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?

It depends on the length of the run and how it exits the house. We give you the price before we start, and nothing gets added at the end.

03

Do you do duct cleaning?

No. We do not offer duct cleaning because it takes different equipment. We repair ductwork: leaks, crushed sections, and disconnected runs.

04

Why is one room always too hot or too cold?

Often it is the ductwork, not the equipment. A leaking, crushed, or undersized duct starves one room of air. We check airflow room by room and show you what we find.

05

Is it safe to keep using the dryer until you arrive?

If you smell burning or the dryer is hot on the outside, no. Stop using it. If you have a gas dryer and smell gas, leave the house and call the gas company first. Otherwise, run shorter loads and keep an eye on it.

06

Do you do dryer vent work on other service calls?

Yes. Dryer vent cleaning and replacement often gets done while we are already at the house for other work.

07

Are estimates free?

Yes. Tell us what is going on and we will give you a price before any work is done.
