What exactly do air duct cleaning people do? I see ads in the

for $99 to clean typical forced-air homes, and it strikes me that they
can't do much for that.

Can one do it himself?

Many, Many different ways and techniques to do it. Many different
price ranges too. Generally the $99ish stuff is a waste of your time
and money. Several hundred dollars is more likely but it depends on
who does it and how they do it.
Basically, if you can get to every area of your ductwork and can see
it as you clean it and have a good shop vac, you can do a fair job.
Duct cleaning is very controversial. It depends on how dirty your duct
work is and what exactly you are trying to have accomplished.
