He cleaned up the area after working and now my dryer is drying in half the time.Great service at a Great price, he recomended once a year cleaning.
Did you happen to notice how your dryer vent connection is attached? We recently purchased a new W & D which included installation. They attached the dryer with about six feet of flex vent when they only needed 18 inches. They made a large 360 degree loop. I told them it was totally unacceptable but they said that they had to do it that way. Installation took less than two minutes....No way. Causes poor performance and creates a perfect lint trap also keeps the dryer off the wall an additional seven inches. Had to have it fixed. Have seen other new ones installed the same way.
