He replaced the dryer hose, removed lint from the dryer itself and went up on the roof to remove built up lint from the exhaust area. For $65 I now have peace of mind that I am not using more electricity than necessary to dry my clothes and the potential for fire has been eliminated. I highly recommend him. His number is 308-7457.
Lucinda:

to TOTV. I see this is your first post.

Although I am still in CT, a couple of years ago, my dryer vent was blocked and it keep blowing fuses in my dryer. It was expensive. I finally had someone come out and he had to make another vent hole in my unit to go directly out of the building as it previously was a long run, (more expensive). Since then, no problems as I was concerned of the possibilty of a fire hazard.

Now I have peace of mind that it will work for a long time.

Thank you for the information.
