Not only that, but a regular air duct cleaning is said to increase the quality of the indoor air.

Inside an air system, there are some major components included in a ductwork cleaning. The supply and return grills, the interior surface of the supply and return vent, and the HVAC system air handler. All of these components should be cleaned meticulously. If only a part of the system gets cleaned, there is a high possibility that the uncleaned components can contaminate the cleaned one, rendering the ductwork cleaning useless.
