Dryer repair and vent service.
A dryer that takes two cycles to finish a load is a fire hazard in disguise. We diagnose heat issues, drum and motor failures, and — just as important — inspect the vent line that's the real cause nine times out of ten. Gas and electric, front-load and stacked.

What do homeowners ask about Dryer Repair?
Why is my dryer taking forever to dry clothes?
Nine times out of ten, the vent line is clogged. Lint accumulates in the hose, inside the wall run, and at the outside hood. A clogged vent is the #1 cause of dryer fires in San Diego per the fire marshal's data. We clean the full line and test airflow before we leave.
How often should I clean my dryer vent?
Most households need a full vent cleaning every 1–2 years. Homes with pets, large households, or long vent runs (over 15 feet) should do it yearly. We combine vent cleaning with any dryer repair call at a discounted combo rate.
Can you repair a gas dryer safely?
Yes. Gas dryer repair is part of our regular service — igniters, flame sensors, gas valves, and burner assemblies. We leak-test every gas connection with a digital manometer before finishing the call.
Is it worth repairing an older dryer?
Dryers are some of the most repair-worthy appliances. A quality dryer should last 13–18 years, and most common repairs (heating element, thermal fuse, belt, bearings) are under $300. Unless the drum or motor has failed on a 15+ year-old unit, repair usually wins.
My dryer is stacked on top of my washer. Can you still work on it?
Yes. Stacked units take a bit longer but nothing prevents proper repair. We carry the lifting equipment and spacing tools to work on stacked front-load pairs safely.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Our freezer died on a Thursday morning with a full load of meat. Called at 9, they were at the house by 1, diagnosed a failed evaporator fan, and had it fixed in under an hour. Flat-rate quote up front, no upsell.
Front-loader kept stopping mid-cycle with an error code. Previous company wanted to replace the entire control board for $650. Repair Pro diagnosed a $180 drain pump and a partial clog. Working perfect again.
Dryer took two cycles to finish every load. Tech walked in, knew immediately to check the vent line, cleaned 15 feet of lint out of the wall run. Saved me from buying a new dryer. Also spotted a brittle vent hose and replaced it.
