The dryer vent cleaning ($50) is well worth doing as a lot was stuck inside of it, but it looks like you just need an air compressor and a really long hose. I'll probably DIY it next time, guy said that it should be done every two years or so.
I thought the duct cleaning was going to be a lot more intensive with a hose whipping the vents to loosen up build up, but it was stick a hose with 10lbs of pressurized air and call it a day. Anecdotally, the air intake to the furnace is a lot cooler to the touch compared to before, but my furnace continues to throw an overheat code LOL.
For reference:
I paid $100 cash on top of this for the dryer vent service + furnace cleaning (this part was a scam, he just blew compressed air in the furnace to loosen up the dust build up). And as per usual, multi point inspection is a gimmick. |
it's not bad... i did mine for around that price. Keep in mind I was there hte whole time and i watched how he worked. I had a super bright flashlight so it was exciting to see what happened.
I did ask the guy, how are you diff from the IG brown guys
a) the compressor are all the same (it's just blowing air
b) the suction vaccuum was 'higher' power.
c) the solution is bio good solution 'meh'
i do have to say, we had a 2 yr construction so i could see why it was needed when i followed him around.
