Making dryer vent cleaning professional and preventing it from becoming an add on service

Why you need to own a professional compressed air system

The dryer vent cleaning industry is growing at a rapid rate, and the old school niche dryer vent cleaners are being overtaken by handymen, carpet cleaners, and other home service businesses. Many cleaners in the industry will refer to these companies as scammers, but the truth of the matter is they are using the same outdated rods and brushes as you! Sure they may not know as much about dryer vents as you do and may not be able to do every repair, but when it comes down to the cleaning, there is nothing separating you from them…unless you have a compressed air system.



How can we change the industry?

Because the average dryer vent cleaner is not willing to invest into their own company, it makes the process seem very doable to a homeowner or another contractor. Anyone can purchase a rod kit from a local hardware store, watch free “how-to” videos online, and perform the service. This is what is killing the dryer vent cleaning industry. Having professional equipment and taking the time to properly learn the process of the trade is what separates someone who can clean a dryer vent from a dryer vent specialist.

We can keep dryer vent cleaning as its own business and prevent others from adding it on by utilizing a compressed air cleaning system! These systems have been around for a while but are not utilized as often as they should be due to higher price points (still affordable compared to other business start-up costs). Compressed air systems combine air with agitation, eliminating the need for a vacuum and rods, making the cleanings easier and more efficient. Additionally, it looks more professional and is something that a homeowner or an average contractor would not already own or have the ability to use.

How can this help your business ?


Owning the proper air setup will provide countless and lucrative opportunities for you and your dryer vent cleaning company. As you know, dryer vent cleaning is currently on the rise, and because of this new awareness, most home owner associations (HOA) are requiring the service at least every 2 years! Some associations will leave it to the individual homeowner to get it done and submit proof of completion. Dryer vent cleaning services may be completed from the outside only depending on the agreement with the HOA. This ensures completion and saves the HOA time, knowing they can have the full community serviced within a 1 week period.

In order to perform a commercial service, a professional compressor setup is needed. The setup can pay for itself in less than one of these jobs! When dealing with complex work you can expect a daily profit ranging from $2,000-$10,000 and a full week profit ranging from $15,000-$60,0000+. These jobs can be stressful, but the profits are off the charts! No dealing with customers, no worrying about getting paid from 100+ customers, just one big hassle free check!
