What we do
Three jobs. Done right, the first time.
We clear dryer vents, clean dusty air ducts and replace ductwork that has given up. Every job starts with a free quote, and on duct work a technician looks over the whole system before any equipment is unloaded.
Air duct cleaning
A full assessment first, then a cleaning of supply and return ducts as one system, for cleaner indoor air and an HVAC system that breathes.
How an assessment-first visit works
Duct replacement
Inspection, removal of failing ductwork and installation of new runs when cleaning can no longer fix leaks, crushed runs or deteriorated flex duct.
When replacement beats cleaningAlso from Eco Fresh
- Commercial dryer vent cleaning
Laundromats, salons, gyms, hotels and any business that runs dryers all day: multi-dryer systems and long commercial runs, cleaned on a schedule.
- Co-op, condo & apartment building dryer vents
Building-wide dryer vent cleaning for co-ops, condos and rental buildings, booked once through the board or managing agent and done unit by unit.
- Dryer vent inspection & airflow test
The whole run checked and the exhaust measured, for a purchase, a new dryer, a burning smell or a landlord’s yearly record.
Why Eco Fresh
Moving air properly is the whole job.
Eco Fresh stays in one lane: the passages that carry air through your apartment, townhouse or shop. We clean what can be saved and replace what cannot, and we explain the difference before you commit.

Warning signs
Six signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
Each one is airflow you are not getting. Lint narrows the run, the dryer works harder, and the heat that should leave the building stays in the vent.
Clothes take more than one cycle
Moist air cannot leave the drum, so towels come out damp and go back in for a second run.
The laundry closet runs hot
Exhaust heat that should leave through the wall or the roof is leaking into the small space around the machine instead.
A burning smell while it runs
Lint near the heating element is scorching. Stop the dryer and call before running it again.
Lint around the outside vent
Fibers on the cap or the wall below it mean the run is pushing lint out under pressure.
The flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs
Check the exterior cap while a load runs. A flap that stays shut has lint holding it closed, or a bent, weathered hood.
The lint trap fills faster than it used to
When the run is restricted, more of the lint stays on your side of it. The fix is the same for every sign: clear the whole run.
What happens on a visit
Quote, assess, clean, test. The same order on every job.
Free quote
Call, or send the form. The quote is free and built on your run: its length, the size of the system and how compacted the lint is.
Assessment
On duct work a technician assesses the whole system before any equipment is unloaded, so the scope is clear before you say yes.
The cleaning
Lint, debris and obstructions come out of the whole run, dryer to outside termination. Air ducts are cleaned supply and return together.
Airflow test
The exhaust is checked so the dryer is venting properly, with recommendations for maintenance or repairs if anything needs them.

Good questions
Things people ask before they book
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in a Manhattan apartment?
At least once a year. A large household, or one that runs the dryer most days, needs it more often. City buildings often route a dryer line through a long, bent shaft to the facade or the roof, and those extra turns and that distance give lint more places to settle, so buildup can arrive sooner than on a short, straight run.
How long does a dryer vent cleaning take?
Most are finished in about an hour. A long run to the roof or a heavily compacted vent can take one to three hours. Air duct cleaning takes one to three hours depending on the size of the system, and a duct replacement takes a full day or more.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Every quote is free and carries no obligation. On duct work a technician assesses the whole system before any equipment is unloaded, so the scope is clear before you say yes.
Will you come to my neighborhood?
We work throughout Manhattan, from the Financial District and Tribeca up through Midtown, the Upper East and West Sides, Harlem and beyond. The full list is on the service areas page, and if you are unsure about your address, call and ask.
What do I need to arrange with my building?
Rules vary. Many co-ops and condos want the super to know a contractor is coming, and some ask for a service elevator reservation or paperwork such as a certificate of insurance. Tell us about your building when you call and we plan the visit around its rules.
Can you service dryer vents at a business or in a whole building?
Yes to both. A laundromat, salon, restaurant or office with a dryer has the same lint problem as an apartment, and the same free quote applies. See commercial dryer vent cleaning, or ask about whole-building service for co-ops and condos.
Get on the schedule before heating season.
Dryer fires climb in the colder months (U.S. Fire Administration). A typical dryer vent cleaning takes about an hour.
