We warranty our parts for 30 days and the labour for 90. This means that if a problem is reported within 30 days and it is a faulty part, we will put a new one in free of charge. If there is a problem reported on the same appliance within 90 days, if it is the same root problem and not a new problem we will not charge another labour charge but only the required parts if parts are required in that case. If there is a problem reported on an appliance that ends up being a different cause, then we will quote that repair as separate and the customer will decide whether they want to approve that repair.
-
Please make sure an adult able to approve or deny repairs is present, and that the appliance to be serviced is accessible and power (and water if applicable) can reach the machine.
-
If a part is required you will be quoted on the price before ordering if part is not in stock. Once the part arrives we will contact you to book a return visit to complete the repair. You will be billed for Part and Repair Labour when repair is completed.

I am very familiar with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchenaid, Samsung, LG, Bosch, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Inglis, Amana, and more. A lot of other brands borrow parts from these major brands and I can find something that is compatible. However, there are some cases where I can diagnose a machine I know very well but the required part is discontinued. In these cases I do try my best to find a part but it may simply be unrepairable. Don’t let that discourage you however, most of the time if a part has to be ordered it is readily available from a warehouse in Canada.
-
If the quoted part does not fix the problem we will schedule a complimentary visit to figure out what happened. Once that is determined, we can reach an agreeable resolution.

As much as we appreciate a good deal around here, we have to keep to installing parts that we have sourced so our insurance is valid.
Dryer
Cleaning
Service
Dryer fires are a real risk if you have lint built up inside your dryer. Most people know about the recommendation to have the vents in your home cleaned once a year, but very few vent cleaning outfits will be able to do anything about the lint that has already accumulated in your dryer. Every extra bit of length of the dryer vent that accumulates lint or is otherwise restricted accelerates the buildup of lint inside the dryer itself. David Longley is quoted in this story from the CBC, “If lint gets inside around thermostats, motors or heating elements, it can catch fire so it's a good idea to have the interior of the dryer checked periodically."
Scott’s Appliance Services provides a thorough clean inside the dryer itself. Dryer vent cleaning services are available as well if your vent meets certain criteria. See below for details.
Keep your home safe and schedule a cleaning with us today!
FAQs
-
I can clean any dryer out there. It’s my specialty. However, there are too many factors in play to guarantee I can clean all dryer vents. These factors include but are not limited to the following:
The length of the venting run exceeding reach of cleaning equipment.
Dryer venting is too old or fragile to withstand stresses of cleaning process.
Dryer vent outlet inaccessible or exits the roof.
Venting ties into large diameter ducts in a multi-dwelling building.
-
If you book us for a dryer vent cleaning we will disassemble the dryer to clean the parts that are impossible to reach by other means. We will also inspect the dryer vent in the home to see if we are able to offer adding on a complete venting clean as well. If the venting is accessible we will also test the airflow before and after to note the improvement. If the venting in the house is deteriorated or is otherwise unable to be cleaned by us then we will recommend improvements.
-
The cost of a Dryer Cleaning is $99. Assuming the vent is accessible to us from inside and outside, and there is nothing preventing us from doing a complete clean of the venting it can be added on for an additional $79. If you are more than 25km outside of Brooks, AB there will be a mileage charge of $0.75 per Km one way.
-
Please make sure an adult able to approve or deny repairs to the venting is present. The dryer should be unobstructed, able to be pulled out from the wall. Assuming the outside vent is ground level it should be clear of obstructions and any pets should be secured away from the work area.
-
You should hit the “Schedule Now” button above this FAQ section. You will be asked to fill out some contact info, address, and make of the dryer. You will be able to pick from the available times when to get your dryer cleaned!

A dead giveaway is if you notice loads taking longer to dry than they used to. That is an urgent sign that you are close to burning out some component and there is a problem with the airflow. Other than that, if it has been more than a couple years or if you have never gotten your dryer cleaned, it’s time. Lint can accumulate in dangerous areas of the dryer right next to the heater without actually affecting the operation of the machine. Since it is a safety issue it is better to be safe than sorry.
