Dryer Vent

We noticed a burning smell coming from our dryer and immediately contacted Dryer Vent Wizard. Tyler was able to book us in same day and was thorough, knowledgeable, and personable in his approach. He came up with an effective solution to install proper venting and remove lint blockage that was occurring. We are back up and running and would highly recommend this company to anyone requiring Dryer vent maintenance or servicing.

Mike, Thank you for your review. I am glad that I was able to fit you in with short notice. A burning smell from your dryer is a sign that a serious problem is occurring. As you saw, putting any kind of a screen over a dryer vent causes lint blockage and creates a fire hazard. Installing a proper, screen-less, pest proof vent cover will ensure you keep the pests out and eliminate future blockages. Best of luck to your son's with their hockey play-offs.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

We had Tyler come and clean our vents last fall, in addition to installing a new hose that would bring the dryer installation up to code. He's fast, professional and it's great to see the before and after pictures. It may have only been a matter of time before we had a fire, so we feel at ease now .. and the dryer (11 years old) works like new. Thanks Tyler.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of your experience with my service. I am so happy to hear that you notice a marked improvement in your dryers performance. Most people don't realize that regular maintenance can significantly extent the life of their dryer. I hope it lasts another 11 years.

Vent Line Repair

I had purchased a new dryer which was not functioning properly. I suspected the problem had something to do with the vent so I called Dryer Vent Wizard after reading the positive reviews for this company. I was not disappointed, I found Tyler to be knowledgeable and professional. He immediately repaired the vent line. I would highly recommend this company and Tyler.

Theresa, thank you for the review. I am glad you called. Having a roof vent that clearly wasn't designed for use with a dryer can cause serious safety issues. While the modifications I made will definitely improve the efficiency and safety of your dryer, I look forward to seeing you in the spring to install a proper roof vent. All the best.

Dryer vent cleaning

Our dryer vents had not been cleaned for many, many years and we had long suspected that this could create a hazardous condition. However, finding a competent, honest and reliable contractor to clean your dryer vent is surprisingly difficult.While there are many businesses that offer this service, there are also many homeowner stories of vent cleanings that were done in a slapdash manner, or the service technicians were incompetent or untrained.

Enter HomeStars!

We found Tyler Johnson through HomeStars and had him come out to our house. Tyler is an extremely knowledgeable and personable gentleman who knows his business inside out. His entire approach is professional from start to finish.

He inspected the vents and took "before" photos of the duct interiors to identify areas of serious blockage. He then used an airflow meter to test the "before" air flow rate coming out of the vent. He showed us the before photos and took me outside to show me the air flow reading with the dryer running. He explained that the air flow rate was three to four times less than what would be considered normal.

He then explained how he was going to clean the vents, and he recommended installing an upgraded one-way vent door on the outside wall of the house so as to prevent small animals from nesting in the duct. A simple visual inspection of his vent door solution easily convinced me that it was far superior to the standard vent door flaps available in most retail hardware stores.

Tyler then set to work to clean the vents. After he was finished he took a set of "after" photos and ran another air flow test. The differences were amazing! The interior of the duct and the duct walls had been completely cleared and cleaned out. The air flow rate had been increased by 3.5 times what it previously was. And the upgraded vent door was securely installed.

Tyler explained that inadequate venting was not just a fire hazard, but would also reduce the life of the dryer which would have to work harder to expel the same volume of air. He also told us that we could expect to see shorter drying cycles and less electricity use due to the improved venting. Both of these claims proved to be true. Our dyer is now taking about 50% less time to dry a comparable load of clothes, and we have noticed a definite reduction in our electricity usage. We also notice significantly less lint accumulation in the dryer's lint trap, and there is no longer any residual lint accumulation on the interior of the dryer door as there was before.

All in all, I have nothing but the highest recommendation for Tyler. He certainly delivered results over an above my expectations. I would have no reservation whatsoever in using his services again. He is one of the very best professionals that we have ever used to do work on our house, and it was true a pleasure to deal with him.

Jerry, Thank you for taking the time during this busy season to provide others with your feedback. My biggest challenge is educating the public on the importance of dryer maintenance from both a fire safety and energy efficiency perspective. Your detailed and informative review will certainly educate readers on what to expect and the positive impacts my service can have. It was my pleasure to serve you. All the best in 2015.

Dryer vent cleaning

Tyler was amazing. He was punctual, courteous and clearly explained - with pictures - what needed to be done both for safety reasons and for the longevity of my dryer. He worked for over 2 hours cleaning and repairing the dryer itself and the vent system. I would highly recommend Tyler and Dryer Vent Wizard to anyone looking for someone who specializes in this service.

Dryer and Booster Fan and Overall Inspection

Tyler and Dryer Vent Wizard are an incredible team. We wanted to insure our complete system from dryer to booster fan ( as we have a longer than average vent line to external connections) were in perfect condition and above all safe.Tyler inspected and photographed all areas and made adjustments where needed to insure optimum performance and above all safety. I recommend anyone who wants both peace of mind and the assurance of the added safety of you and your family utilize the expert services of Tyler and Dryer Vent Wizard. The service was so great we have asked for a similar inspection at our cottage to insure safety and security in knowing all is up to code. Thank you Tyler !!!!

dryer vent repair

Tyler from dryerventwizard.com came to inspect my dryer vent, and he showed me what needed to be done to make my dryer safer. He checked the air speed of the dryer, and cleaned the long duct I had leading to the outside, and changed the unsafe hose coming out of the back of my dryer, as well as installed a new vent outside with an animal-proof cover. Took pictures of the process throughout so I could see exactly what was in my vent before and after (it was quite scary!). My air speed went from 10.5mph to 20.5mph, so I know the duct is clean now. I was very impressed with his professionalism and the quality of his work. I really like that he was able to do the work the same day he came. I highly recommend dryerventwizard to anyone who wants to make sure their home is safe. Thanks again Tyler!

Susan, Thank you for having me visit your home and provide my services. I am glad that you had me clean your vent as longer vents tend to clog easier and faster. Having your dryer transition pipe replaced and your vent properly cleaned should give you peace of mind. As always, I really appreciate your business.

Dryer Vent Wizard

We called the Dryer Vent Wizard because we had concerns about the safety of our dryer venting system. Tyler had to change the venting, de-lint the machine and also screwed and caulked the outside vent cap. Feel much safer knowing that it is done properly now.
