I had noticed our dryer doesn'...

I had noticed our dryer doesn't ventilate properly outside which of course freaked me out. I googled dryer venting and had a heart attack when I realized how bad it was. STOP THE DRYER NOW!!!!!! I'm surprised we're not dead!



I had our property manager send out the "handy" people and really all we could do was use a stupid little dryer vent kit. Ugh, won't stop the steamy room when we run the dryer. Plus the fact that dryer lint is highly flammable and could potentially burn down our apartment building scared me. I didn't get the feeling he was ready to hire professionals to do the job of cleaning out the dryer, so I took matters into my own hands.



Between roommates coming and going, I rang this place up this morning to get a price estimate. He said he could do it today (yay!) and could arrive between 1-4pm. Sweet.



Flavio came over and showed me how he was planning on blowing out all the lint. Ha, he used some type of sock/hosiery to contain the lint coming out because otherwise, that stuff would have made a big freakin' linty mess! He recommended I switch to a spiral-wound aluminum flex hose he had on hand because the white vinyl hose we had currently attached could easily catch on fire with the heat from the dryer. I'll take it!!



Once he was finished, he attached the new hose to the little venting kit and it took less than 30 minutes.



Yay no more being paranoid about the dryer catching on fire!



I was super happy they were able to come over last minute and clean out the dryer vent. The price I paid was nothing compared to a fire starting. Your dryer starting a fire may be the last thing you ever think about, but when you think about the consequences of spending a little cash to save your home and potentiality a life, it's worth it. Now put that on your to-do list asap!

Well, we weren't sure about wh...

Well, we weren't sure about what to do when our wall furnace finally conked out. I called several places and searched the internet for advice and basically found out that replacing this unit would be costly and repairing it a more dubious endeavor. After spending many hours trying to get more educated about these furnaces, I knew I wanted someone to come out and give me a knowledgeable assessment about it.



Was looking for the same thing. People who take pride in their work and will be honest with you. Manny, was prompt and timely. After discussing the potential issues that could come up with venting a new furnace, he was willing to further explore possibly fixing the unit. Parts needed to be replaced and with the original manufacturer of the furnace no longer existing, we were all dubious.



Cyclone was game to find parts that would work. About an hour or so later he called to say that he had in fact found some. Later that afternoon, he returned and the furnace is working great! Mario said the old cylinders were in good shape and everything was to code.



We could hardly believe it and we saved a bundle. We enjoy the idea that a bunch of metal didn't have to go into the waste stream. Flavio is straightforward and thorough. Thank you Mario
