In 2003, The US Department of Energy endorsed HVAC cleaning:
“Contaminant accumulation on fan blades, duct surfaces and filters result in decreased system efficiency and inadequate airflow.”
In addition to normal accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes with air ducts, there are several other factors that can increase the need for regular HVAC system cleaning:

Allergy and asthma sufferers, as well as young children and the elderly in San Antonio tend to be more susceptible to the types of poor indoor air quality that air duct cleaning can help address.
