Are there any health benefits that come from HVAC cleaning?

None that we, as contractors, are legally allowed to discuss, advertise, or assume any credit for. If you "catch" anyone making health claims, not only scratch it off the list, but also report it to the EPA or BBB at once. However, it is well known that dirty air ducts offer undisturbed shelter, numerous food sources and therefore, a near perfect breeding environment for fungi, bacteria and viruses. If simple tasks like washing your hands, bagging your trash or wiping your kitchen counter can, in fact, prevent about 4 diseases, imagine what cleaning your air conveyance system might add to the list!

There must be health benefits to cleaning air ducts.  I recently had my ducts cleaned, because it is an older home here in South Florida, we found out many things. I constantly sneezed after dinner and unrestful nights.   We had the ducts cleaned and also had the Return Air Box relined, sealed and insulated.  We were getting some attick dust returning back into the air box because of poor installation practices.  Boy, what a differnce.   Little or no sneezing, a more balanced air temperature from ceiling to floor, and less dust accumulating on furniture.  Health Benefit?  I give the task a thumbs up.
