Should I Have Ducts Cleaned?
Due to growing concerns about indoor air quality, it�s easy to convince homeowners that their ducts need cleaning. But unless ducts are really dirty, there�s no reason to clean them. The EPA takes a similar stance on the issue, recommending cleaning only if the ducts and HVAC unit are contaminated.

If done properly, duct cleaning doesn�t hurt; but it�s not something that needs to be on your regular home maintenance list. You probably don�t need to have your ducts and HVAC system cleaned unless:

Renovation: If your home has been remodeled � especially if there was asbestos abatement, lead paint removal, or significant dust � your ductwork may need to be cleaned. Ducts should be sealed off during home renovations; but if they weren�t, dangerous dust and debris may become lodged inside the ductwork.
Animals: If there�s evidence of animal infestation or nesting in your ducts or HVAC system, have the animals removed then clean the ductwork and HVAC unit.
Mold: If there is visible mold growth inside the ductwork, the ducts and HVAC system should be cleaned.
Contaminants: If noticeable debris, pet hair, odors, or other contaminants are being released into the room through the ducts after the registers have been cleaned and vacuumed; then the ducts may need to be cleaned.
Illness: If someone in your family is suffering from an unexplained allergy-related illness, and you�ve taken every other possible step to decontaminate your home, you may want to consider having your ducts cleaned to see if the HVAC system was the culprit.

When I had my HVAC system replaced in 2012 (after 11 years), I had the ducts cleaned. You will not believe what an accumulation of dust/dirt,etc there was up there.

My returns are in the ceiling. When they guy came out of the return he was covered with gray from the stuff that came out.

I think that I will have the ducts cleaned every five years or so - regardless of what you posted.

HVAC duct cleaning required that the contractor have an HVAC license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. A check of their licensing records revealed that Wright Way Duct Cleaning was not listed as a licensed duct cleaner. Forewarned is forearmed.

I have Chuck Farrell do annual maintenance on the A/C. So far he has not recommended cleaning the ducts. I have faith that if they need it, he will tell me.
