Is it worth it to pay for air duct cleaning in a home with central air conditioning?”
All of us have allergies at home, and we recently had our ducts cleaned out. It has made a significant improvement in the dust level in the house – you can tell from the amount of dust collecting on furniture. It has also significantly improved the airflow throughout the house. After we had this done, I could feel a big difference in the amount of air coming from the registers, and even the sound was different. This will reduce our heating and electric bills, so it will eventually pay for itself. Make sure the contractor you hire is well known and comes with a big truck. They should be using a large, gasoline-powered vacuum device to clean out the ducts, not anything they can carry in and plug into the wall. When you call around, ask them what kind of equipment they are using – the bigger, the better.
