Re-think the duct cleaning. With a shop vac and and extra hose, you
can get a large percentage of any perceived dirt in the ducts. You
money is best/better spent on indoor air quality products such as:
UV light, media air filters, humidifiers, HRV's, ERV's, HEPA filters,
etc.

Handy advice, thanks. I'll have to see what is available. Some of the
ducts might be tricky to get all the way clean but I'm sure
attachments are available.
I'm fairly concerned about making sure I can get the right filters set
up. I think some of the issue is that the house is old and there used
to be an old wood or coal burning furnace in the basement and the
returns used were the ones that were already in place for that and
hence the lack of real filters. I'm hoping that floor filter units are
available as there's no walls really available to put them in (That
could change if/when I build an extension).

And when I say floor, I don't just mean floor-level but the returns
are actually in the floor.
