I think it is a big fat waste of money. I would just vacuum as well as you can, replace the filter every single month (I buy the disposable kind..super cheap), and have your furnace checked annually. They will do a light cleaning of the furnace then. I still vacuum mine.
I was referring to duct cleaning - maybe I didn't phrase it correctly -- my point was that our house smelled fine after the cleaning team finished, we couldn't even tell there had been a fire. But when another team came a couple weeks later and cleaned the ducts out, it surprised me how much odor stayed trapped in the ductwork. Think about how musty a house would get with all that dust, dirt, and microbes building up over the years. Very worthwhile, IMO. Especially if you have allergies, Liz.
