Should I have the ducts sanitized or fogged?
Be careful with this one. Spraying a biocide or a sealant into ductwork is sold as an add-on far more often than it is genuinely warranted, and you are putting a chemical into the path that feeds every room in your house. If there is confirmed growth, the answer is finding the moisture and removing the growth mechanically. Ask what specifically is being applied, why it is needed in your case, and what the label says about occupied spaces. A vague answer to any of those is your answer.
We just bought the house. Is it worth doing now?
It is one of the better times, for a reason that is more about information than dust. Nobody can tell you how the previous owners ran the system, whether the filter was changed, whether there was ever a pet or a smoker, or whether anything was built or demolished with the system running. Opening it up answers all of that, and a look inside a couple of registers before you commit to the full job will usually tell you whether it needs doing at all.
Is duct sealing different from duct cleaning?
Completely, and sealing is usually the one that saves money. Cleaning removes what is inside the ducts. Sealing closes the joints and seams that are leaking conditioned air into an attic, a crawl space or a wall cavity, which in a typical house is a meaningful share of what you paid to heat and cool. If your goal is a lower bill or rooms that never keep up, sealing and airflow are the conversation. If your goal is what is coming out of the registers, cleaning is.
Does duct cleaning actually do anything?
Sometimes, and not always, and it is worth saying so before anyone books one. For a normal house with a decent filter and no particular history, cleaning the ducts is not going to transform your air or your energy bill, whatever the mailers say. Where it genuinely earns its money is after construction or a remodel, after any kind of pest or rodent activity, where there is visible dust discharging from the registers, or where the system has been running without a filter. If none of those apply, ask what the specific problem is that cleaning is meant to solve.
