What exactly do air duct cleaning people do? I see ads in the
newspaper
for $99 to clean typical forced-air homes, and it strikes me that they
can't do much for that.

Can one do it himself?

TIA

I, too was considering this. Then I looked inside the ducts. I couldn't
see anything that needed cleaning.

I had my ducts cleaned, regular round and suuare return units. The
machine they used they said cost 15000, HEPA,,, but the 100 yr old dust
they disturbed left me sick for 2 weeks. Duck cleaning can be bad.

Also depends on what the ducts are made of. The newer homes with the plastic
spiral wrapped duct may not be able to be cleaned. The use a truck mounted
vacuum and a rotary brush. At least the ones I have seen.

I had it done to my house a year or two after I moved in.

When the system was cleaned I didnt smell anything anymore when
the system was first turned on for the season.

They hooked up a suction line to the main return duct and the
main heat duct. The return was really the problem. So much crap
in there over 50 years worth of time. The guys busted their ass and
I filled up 3 or 4 bags worth of dust etc. I paid at that time about
300.00 for the service and have a total of 14 ducts in my home
(6 returns)
