Done right and not too often, yes. EPA says ducts should be cleaned when there's visible mold, pest activity, or heavy dust. Every 5 to 7 years is typical for most homes. Every year is usually a salesman, not a technician.

Ask for NADCA certification, HEPA negative-pressure equipment (not a shop vac), and before and after photos or camera footage. A $99 special is not enough equipment on the truck to do the job. We show up with $15,000 of the real tools.
