I had this done to my home awhile ago. Best thing I could have
ever done. The amount of garbage in the returns was amazing.
The nasty smell on the start of the heating season is gone.
Mine werent cleaned out in 50 years either. Lots of dirt in there!

I am going to have my air ducts and returns cleaned out. What kind of
results should I expect to happen from this process. The house is 50+ years
old and from what I can see the ducts have never been cleaned. I have one
small dog who sheds moderately. There really isn't a whole lot of dog hair
when I change my filter every month or so.

I have two rooms on my second floor that I have just turned into a bedroom
and a playroom. These 2 rooms never really received good heat or air from my
system, can I expect the air/heat to circulate better to these upper floor
rooms after the cleaning?

Every room has at least 1 return except the bathroom and the front room on
the top floor. The 2 rooms on the top floor each have only one air vent.
Front room is about 14X16
Back room is about 22X16

My house is set up like this

2nd floor - 2 rooms
Main floor - 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen
Basement - 75% finished , laundry room area (where heater is located.)
