3 Dryer Vent Cleaning Scams to Avoid

You want to do what’s best for your home and avoid safety risks, but it doesn’t help when businesses providing certain services only have their interests in mind. Do you want to get your dryer vent cleaned but don’t know who to trust? Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning provides professional dryer vent cleaning, and we understand that it can be hard to know where to turn for trustworthy service. Let’s go over three common dryer vent cleaning scams that companies will try to use at the expense of homeowners.

1. Unusually Low Pricing Scams

Any time there is a company whose pricing is significantly lower than comparable companies in the area - that should give you a reason to pause. You may receive coupons or marketing materials advertising an unusually low price. However, once they get into your home, they may try to sell you services you don't need or explain why your dryer doesn't qualify for their low pricing.

2. High-Pressure Sales or Scare Tactics

If you feel uncomfortable with the effort a company is exerting in trying to sell you their services, you should probably move on. They might use high-pressure sales tactics to convince you that you need additional services or try to scare you into immediately deciding to have your dryer vent cleaned without delay. Even though there are risks with failing to have your dryer vent cleaned, you should understand that a company is more concerned with your safety than its bottom line.

3. Inadequate Credentials or Equipment

Always verify the credentials of a company you hire to provide a service inside your home. If a contractor arrives and you are uncertain of their qualifications or the equipment they are using, it's probably best not to let them complete any work. At Lowe's Air Duct Cleaning, we follow the exemplary standards of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. Our technicians are trained company employees who use specialized tools and will also provide before and after pictures to show you proof that your vent is clean.
