Lexington, NC Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning Services
Why Cleaning Your Air Ducts & Dryer Vents Is Important
Your home's Air Ducts play an important part circulating air from your heating and cooling systems. It's vital to maintain your air ducts for keeping your system running efficiently/longer and for your Lexington family's overall health.
- Money: Leaky ductwork can increase your energy bills up to 30%!
- Safety: Improperly sealed ducts can create back-drafting pulling harmful gases (like CO) into rooms. Additionally, fire hazards due to dryers are often overlooked as a concern. There are about 16,800 clothes-dryer fires in residential buildings annually in the United States, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. These preventable fires caused 15 deaths, 300 injuries and about $88 million US in property damage. Make sure to get your vents cleaned by Pro Plumbing Air & Electric if you start noticing issues with your dryer.
- Indoor Air Quality: Studies show that in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created each year just through everyday living. We also generate significant quantities of pollutants and contaminants, potentially including mold and fungi, that are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated five to seven times per day, causing a buildup of unhealthy elements in the ducts.
- Comfort: Properly installed and maintained ducts help keep rooms at the right temperature

Avoid Dryer Vent Cleaning Scams
It’s not surprising to see a low flat rate coupon to clean your dryer vents from some companies – even as low as $40!
What may surprise you is how much it’s going to really cost you if you’re not prepared.
Avoid the “Blow-and-Go” scams by doing your research. First, know that according to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, duct cleaning should cost at least $400 (as of 2010) and take 2 people about 4 hours for an average home. Second, knowing this, ask yourself how could someone clean my dryer vents and/or air ducts for as low as $40, or even $100?
“Blow-And-Go” Tactics
Some tactics include persuading you to pay for services you don’t need (sometimes without your approval) or discovering mold and toxic substances (which are most likely false). States and the Better Business Bureau are trying to crack down on these unscrupulous practices. If you’ve seen it, report it to your local BBB.
Not all duct and dryer vent cleaning service companies are trying to scam you – but be prepared. Better yet, turn to your local Camp Hill, NC area BBB Accredited A+ source, Pro Plumbing Air & Electric for expert advice and upfront pricing before any work is started.
