Avoid in Hialeah
- Recirculating range hoods (the kind that just blow air back at you) — get an externally vented hood if you cook daily.
- Plastic dryer transition hoses — replace with semi-rigid aluminum or rigid metal immediately.
- Cheap fiberglass filters — they let grease aerosol through to the coil where it bakes onto the fins.
- Letting the dryer vent go more than 9 months between cleanings — Hialeah dryers run hard.
