While it makes sense to clean dirt, dust and debris out of the passageways that carry air into your breathing space, there is, as yet, is no conclusive data that quantifies the actual affect that air duct cleaning has on indoor air quality. As the issue continues to be research by scientists, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken a fairly neutral stand on the matter, and advises consumers to clean their air ducts only as needed, rather than as a routine cleaning chore.
Finding a reputable air duct cleaning service provider will take a little bit of effort on your part. A good way to start is by asking your friends and co-workers for recommendations. However, it is important to remember that companies sometimes change hands, so once you've got a name (names), call the service provider and confirm that they are members of NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. This lets you know that at least one of their cleaning staff has been certified. Next, request both a visual inspection of the ductwork and a written estimate that clearly indicates how long the job will take and how much it will cost. When the inspector is on site, find out about previous experience cleaning a system such as yours, and ask about how your furnishings and carpets will be protected during the process.
