About Vent & Flue
Vent & Flue is an independent website that explains dryer vent, chimney and air duct services, costs and safety with sourced numbers, and passes quote requests from homeowners and property managers to local companies. We are not a contractor. We do not clean vents, chimneys or ducts, send technicians or perform any work.
How the site is funded
Companies that receive requests through our form may pay us for them. That is the whole business model. It is free for the person asking for quotes, and you are never obliged to book.
No company pays to appear in our guides. Where a company is named, such as in the price tables on the cost guide, it is because a published price survey named it, and the survey is cited.
What we publish, and what we will not
- Every number traces to a primary source, listed on the page with the date we read it. The three-pass method is on how we verify.
- No reviews, testimonials or ratings that we did not collect from real customers. We have none yet, so the site shows none.
- No claims about a company's work that we have not verified.
- Safety guidance comes from the NFPA, the US Fire Administration, the EPA, the building code, dryer manufacturers and industry standards bodies such as CSIA and NADCA, not from our own opinion. Where a page gives our advice, it says so.
