The obvious reason is that they do get very dirty, but there are other factors to consider when determining the need for regular air duct cleaning of your HVAC system:
Mold around air vents
Mold in air vents
Dust around air vents
Do you have any pets? (dogs, cats, etc…)
Do any of the occupants have allergies or asthma
Is there any cigarettes or cigar smoke in the home
Has there been any water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system
Any home renovations or remodeling projects
Suspect rodent/insect infestation
Normally, you’ll begin to notice some signs when your air ducts are no longer working properly. You may smell a bad odor, but you may also see dust coming out of the system when the air flows, or just actually see the debris or mold. Uneven air flow may also indicate it’s time to call an air ducts cleaning company nearby.

The U.S. EPA says that “duct cleaning services typically – but not always – range in cost from $450 to $1000 per heating and cooling system, depending on the services offered, the size of the system to be cleaned, system accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination”.
Avoid advertisements for “$99 whole house specials” and other sales gimmicks. These companies often charge a nominal fee and do a poor job of cleaning of air ducts. These companies may also persuade the consumer into unneeded services, with and/or without their permission!
