Don't Ignore a Dryer That Runs Hot or Slow

Lint-restricted venting causes thousands of house fires every year in the U.S. If your dryer is hot to the touch, shutting off mid-cycle, or taking two cycles per load, stop using it and have it inspected. Our technicians check airflow and venting as part of every dryer repair.

Yes. Compact ventless, condenser, and heat-pump dryers from Bosch, Miele, LG, Samsung, and Asko are common in SF apartments and condos, and our technicians are certified on them.
