The filters catch material that is returned to the air handler and the air coming back to the rooms is clean.
There is no reason to clean your ducts. Your indoor air is as good as your air filters. Put in a good filter and fuggetaboutit.

Actually, duct cleaning is good for very old homes with metal ducts that might have been neglected over the years. But for our homes here in the Villages, unless someone was running the HVAC system without a filter for a long time, it's probably not necessary and for sure, you probably don't have any mold in the ducts.
