I’m looking into the Lowe’s HomeCare+ membership. It’s $99 per year and includes two "pro" visits annually, where you can select a variety of maintenance services (up to 7, according to their list).

The two things I’m most interested in are:

• Electric dryer vent cleaning
• Garage door lubrication

In my area, just getting a pro out to clean a dryer vent usually costs around $150. If this membership covers that twice a year for $99, the math seems to work out heavily in my favor.

I’m trying to figure out if I’m missing anything or if there are specific "gotchas":

• Service Depth: For those who have used it, how thorough is the dryer vent cleaning? Is it a full brush-out or just a quick vacuum?
• Scheduling: Is it difficult to actually get an appointment booked through the Lowe’s portal?
• Exclusions: Are there hidden fees (like a "destination fee") or limits on duct length for the cleaning?
• Experience: If you’ve signed up, has it saved you money, or is it more of a hassle than it's worth?

I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually had the techs out to their house for this. Thanks!
