Hello, i am a very recently retired homeowner in Richmond, VA and am looking forward to getting my house in order

my question is - has anyone found their life dramatically improved by having their duct's cleaned? I got an estimate of $700 and have seen that there's certainly dust up there.......but is it necessary and will it help with allergies?
thanks, mcgina

When we installed a new furnace we had our ducts cleaned. We also put in an Aprilaire...and dust has really been cut down. I don't know if it was cleaning the ducts or the Aprilaire, but we'd been remodeling for years and there was a lot of plaster dust in the ducts. $700 seems really high.
