Whole-home duct cleaning with negative-pressure equipment — and before/after photos so you can see exactly what you paid for.
The whole system — not just the vents you can see.
There is something that looks like mold in the ductwork.
Stop and identify it before anyone cleans it. Growth in ductwork means moisture is getting in, and cleaning without fixing the moisture buys you a few months. The usual sources are an air conditioner coil that never dries out, a condensate problem, uninsulated metal duct sweating in a humid crawl space, or duct board that got wet. Cleaning is part of the answer, but the part that matters is finding out where the water is coming from, and that is a different conversation from a cleaning quote.
Will cleaning the ducts help my allergies?
It can help, and it is rarely the whole answer, so it is worth setting the expectation before the money. Most household allergens are generated and circulated continuously rather than stored in ductwork, so cleaning removes a reservoir rather than the source. If allergies are the actual problem, filtration and humidity control usually move the needle further, and the sequence that makes sense is to fix the source first, improve the filtration second, and clean the ducts if there is a reason specific to your system.
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 the dryer vent worth doing at the same time?
It is the one in this category with a genuine safety case, and it is often the more urgent of the two. Lint accumulates in the duct run rather than in the trap, and a restricted dryer vent is both a fire risk and the reason a load takes three cycles to dry. The signs are clothes still damp on a normal cycle, the outside of the dryer running hot, or a flap outside that no longer opens properly. Long runs and runs with several elbows need it more often than short straight ones.
