Duct Cleaners Charlotte cleans air ducts, dryer vents and HVAC systems across Charlotte, the heart of the metro, right where we are based. You get a local crew, honest up-front pricing, and true source-removal cleaning that pulls dust, pollen and debris out of your system instead of stirring it back into your home.
Dryer vent cleaning protects your home
Lint that builds up in your dryer vent is one of the leading causes of house fires. It also traps heat and moisture, so your dryer runs longer, wears out faster and drives up your power bill. We clear the full vent line from the dryer to the exterior, so your clothes dry faster and your home is safer.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry.
- The dryer or laundry room feels hot and humid during a cycle.
- A burning smell or a musty odor on your clothes.
- It has been over a year, or you have never had it done.

Homes and HVAC systems in Charlotte
Charlotte's housing runs from Dilworth, which Edward Dilworth Latta developed in the 1890s as the city's first suburb, served by its first electric streetcar line in 1891, to large subdivisions built since 2000. Per ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates, the median Charlotte home was built in 1995; about 43 percent of its roughly 399,000 housing units were built in 2000 or later, 28 percent before 1980 and about 10 percent before 1960.

Common questions
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
At least once a year for most homes, and more often for large households or long vent runs. Regular cleaning is the single best way to prevent a dryer fire and keep your dryer running efficiently.
Why do my clothes take so long to dry?
Almost always a clogged dryer vent. When lint blocks the vent, hot moist air cannot escape, so clothes stay damp and the dryer runs cycle after cycle. Clearing the vent usually fixes it in one visit.
Do you clean the whole vent line?
Yes. We clean the full run from the back of the dryer through the wall and duct to the exterior vent hood, and we confirm strong airflow at the outside when we are done.
How do I know if my dryer vent is a fire risk?
Warning signs include clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, a hot or humid laundry room, a burning smell, or lint around the dryer and vent. If it has been over a year, it is worth having cleaned regardless.
Do I need a permit to replace my furnace or AC in Charlotte?
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement lists the addition, replacement or change in the design of a heating or air conditioning system as work that needs a permit, even on residential jobs of $40,000 or less. Its office number is 980-314-2633.
Should Charlotte homeowners have their ducts cleaned on a schedule?
The U.S. EPA says it does not recommend that air ducts be cleaned routinely, only as needed, for example when there is visible mold growth, signs of rodents or insects, or dust visibly released from supply registers. With about 28 percent of Charlotte homes built before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024), many systems are decades old, so an inspection for those conditions is a reasonable starting point.
