The whole system — not just the vents you can see.
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.
What should I ask to see afterwards?
Before and after photographs of the same locations, including inside the trunk lines and the blower compartment rather than only the register boots. Any company doing this properly expects to be asked and will have them. Two photographs of a register cover prove very little. This is the simplest protection against paying for the version of this job that consists of a vacuum at each vent and an invoice, which is common enough in this trade to be worth guarding against.
Can I just clean the vents myself?
You can, and it is worth doing, as long as you know what it does and does not achieve. Pulling the register covers, washing them, and vacuuming as far into the boot as the hose reaches removes the dust you can see and the pet hair that collects right at the opening. What you cannot reach is the trunk line, the branch runs and the blower, which is where anything that actually matters accumulates. Treat it as housekeeping rather than as a substitute.
How often should ducts be cleaned?
There is no calendar answer, and any company giving you a fixed interval is guessing at your house. Condition drives it: pets, smokers, allergies, recent construction, and whether the system has been run without a filter all change the answer far more than time does. For most houses with none of those, the honest interval is longer than the industry advertises. Look inside a register every couple of years and let what you see decide it.
