Eight months of heating pulls a lot of air through those ducts

Your furnace runs October through May here. Every one of those months, the blower is pulling air through the same ductwork, and whatever rides along in that air settles on the duct walls a little more each week the system runs.

Winter nights average 20°F from December through February, so the furnace is not cycling lightly. It is working hard most of the winter to hold the house at temperature, and all that airflow moves through ducts that build up dust over a long heating season.

How often should air ducts be cleaned?
There's no fixed schedule that fits every home. Homes with pets, a smoker, or someone with allergies tend to need it more often than others. If you see dust building up around your vents, or nobody can remember the last time the ductwork was looked at, that's a sign to get it checked.
Is air duct cleaning worth it?
It depends on what's actually in your ducts right now. If there's visible mold, a pest problem, or heavy dust and debris coming through your vents, cleaning them makes sense. If your ducts are in decent shape and you're keeping up with your filter, you may not need it yet. A contractor can look at your system and tell you what's in there before you spend money on it.
What does air duct cleaning involve?
A contractor uses brushes and vacuum equipment to loosen dust and debris from inside the ductwork and pull it out of the system. This usually covers the supply and return ducts and the grilles, and sometimes the coil and blower housing near your furnace. The point is to remove the debris, not just stir it up and let it resettle.
