Air vents/ duct work cleaning--ever have it done?

Im looking into different companies that clean the air ducts/vents. We have all been sick w various upper respiratory infections since December. The longest we have gone without one of us at the Dr. is 3 weeks! Im not sure if we need out vents cleaned--maybe there is something in the house that is making us sick. We have hatdwood floors throughout the entire house, just did a major clean of floors, windows, walls, etc. I am getting highly annoyed that we are constantly sick! If you have had your vents cleaned, did it help with allergies? Was the cost super expensive?

Re: Air vents/ duct work cleaning--ever have it done?

  • We got our ducts cleaned about 6 months ago. It was well worth it. 

    My husband suffers from asthma, and we found we were waking up with sore throats in the morning. Since we got it done, I find I dont have to dust my house as much and we dont have sore throats anymore. 

    My husband also hasnt had to take his puffer as much as he used to.

     

    We paid around $300 for it. The price depends on what size your house is and how many registers you have in your home.

     

  • When we first moved into our house there was a disgusting smell coming from the vents and after weeks of scrubbing and cleaning we finally gave in and paid someone to clean the vents/ducts. I was at work but my FI told me that the amount of *** that came out was disgusting.. but "cool". wtf. Either way I am so glad we did it.

  • I have had some friends use the site "Angie's List" to find reputable companies in their area since there are some rumors that some compaines are fraudulent and dont do much actual cleaning (in fact I think there was a Dateline story about it?) Anyway, most of my friends have paid a range of a few hundred to almost $600 based on the size of their home.
