    I’ve never found any studies that say that duct cleaning has been shown to save energy or improve health or provide any benefit. Cleaning and servicing the blower fan will save energy, cleaning the ducts as an energy measure won’t. If it was such a great measure there would be utility rebates for it, and there aren’t.
    A study by the EPA a number of years ago found that duct cleaning decreased air quality drastically in homes after they were cleaned because all the materials that had adhered to the ducts were being blown around the house after they were cleaned. If you think about it, particles stuck inside your ducts are not being blown around your house, cleaning them loosens up all that stuff, that can now be blown around your house if it isn’t all removed by HEPA vacuuming. Your ducts may be functioning better as a air filter than your air filter is or there wouldn’t be anything stuck to them in the first place.
