Hurliman Heating is a second generation locally owned family business, in operation since 1956. We pride ourselves on quality work and customer satisfaction. Our knowledgeable staff will go the extra mile to ensure our customers are happy.
"Hurliman installed a furnace for us on 12/20/23 and an air conditioning unit this summer. While the state inspector came to look at the air conditioning unit he also looked at the furnace. Although last winter Hurliman told us the furnace passed inspection after it was installed- it was NEVER INSPECTED and the inspector found three code violations. Our broken air conditioning unit was misdiagnosed by their tech and we spent $1,937 on a so-called fix that didn't work. We were then given an estimate for a $7,604.20 new AC unit which was higher than the price range listed on their website. Although they listed eight different AC manufacturers on their website that should have various price points, they refused to offer us estimates for any other more affordable units because there was so much demand in the summer so they "don't have to". That's not a company with integrity, that's called gouging. We ended up going with one of their competitors who installed a quality air conditioner (one of the same brands listed on Hurliman's website) for almost $2,000 less than what Hurliman was going to charge us."

I am a handyman looking to help you with your next big idea. I can do construction work like framing, flooring, window installation, bathroom remodels including tile and plumbing. I can do small roofing, gutter cleaning and window cleaning. I can do general maintenance work for you like shovelling snow, lawn and garden work, lighting installation, and filter cleaning. Got a big idea and need some extra help? Give me a call. I'm available most afternoons, Wednesdays thru Saturdays.
"Ken is AWESOME! He was the Only one who responded to my need. It was Thanksgiving day and my kitten had already spent a day and a night stuck high in a tree and afraid to get back down. It was such a cold night I couldnt have her go through another! And thats exactly what Ken said too when he read my need. He was at my house within 30 minutes Thanksgiving day. He was sharing it with his loved ones at the time I messaged him so he let me know he would say his goodbyes and be on his way. He showed up, ready to rescue and I was so happy to see him! I really didnt know what I would have done otherwise! He is such a good hearted man, making sure he had a treat for the kitten when he got to her and then putting her inside his coat, for warmth, as he climbed down the ladder. When it got time to pay, he smiled and told me Happy Thanksgiving. WOW! I think anyone else would have charged extra because it was a holiday! I 100% recommend Kendoes Handy Work and will call him if I need a helping hand. And not because he didnt charge me, but because I could tell hes an honest, hard working, caring man and that I could trust him in my home for any job. This guy knows how to do everything!!"

A dryer vent allows warm, moist air from inside the clothes dryer unit to escape to the outdoors. Without one, the warm air and moisture remain in your home, leading to mold, rot, and higher cooling bills over time. This project requires cutting a hole in the exterior of your home, so you should hire a professional contractor or carpenter to perform the work.
Use rigid metal when the duct runs behind walls, under floors, or through ceilings—it’s durable and clears lint efficiently. Semi‑rigid metal works well for short, visible sections that need a little flexibility. Your installer will match the material to the layout, but steer clear of flexible foil or vinyl hoses, as they can trap lint and increase the fire risk.
In tight spaces—a compact laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom—a slim or periscope duct lets the dryer sit close to the wall and still vent efficiently. This approach permits the dryer to sit close to the wall while ensuring efficient airflow. Slim vents offer a wide, rectangular design that fits perfectly in confined areas and can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If allowed by local codes, surface-mounted ductwork further enhances accessibility and safety.
Plan on hiring a dryer vent cleaning professional to visit your home once a year to keep airflow strong and reduce fire risk. Large households or extra‑long vents may need a check every six months. Regular service sweeps out lint, spots damage early, and helps the dryer run more efficiently.
Qualified professionals for dryer vent installation include HVAC installers who deliver unmatched expertise for safe, secure installations. Experienced handypersons, plumbers, and roofers also perform these projects when the job is simple or when the vent pathway is clearly accessible. An HVAC installer guarantees a proper, code-compliant installation. For complex installations involving concealed ducts or challenging routes, always choose a specialist with a solid track record.
The maximum allowable dryer vent length is set at 25 to 35 feet by local building codes. Any 90-degree turn in the vent layout reduces this maximum by five feet. This exact measurement ensures efficient airflow and minimizes lint buildup, thereby enhancing safety. Adhere to your local code requirements to guarantee a proper and safe installation.
