Appreciation post: I just finished my 100th dryer vent cleaning job
I always thought those were just a quick add-on service, not a real milestone. But after I cleared out a vent in a house in Springfield that was packed solid with lint, the homeowner showed me her old energy bill. Her dryer had been running for 90 minutes per load! Now I explain the fire risk and energy waste to every single customer. Has anyone else started tracking a specific service like this?

Totally get that shift in how you see the work. I had a similar thing with air filters at my place. Changed out one that looked like a grey brick, and the furnace noise dropped to almost nothing overnight. It went from being a forgettable chore to something I actually warn my neighbors about now. Makes the whole job feel way more important when you see the real world result right in front of you.

Isn't it crazy how one job can totally change how you see your own work? I had the same thing happen with gutter cleaning. Cleared a downspout on an old house that was just a solid block of leaves, and the next rain, the basement stayed dry for the first time in years. The homeowner sent me a picture of their dry floor. Now I take a before and after photo of every downspout I unclog. Makes you realize you're not just cleaning, you're actually fixing a real problem.
