I generally don't recommend duct cleaning to my customers unless they are replacing their furnace, have a very old house, or they have a new home that has a lot of construction debris (drywall dust, etc0 in the ducts. Once the ducts are clean you'll need to use a high quality pleated filter and it should be replaced every 30days. I tell folks to get in the habit of changing the filter every time they write a check to the mortgage company, it's easier to remember that way.

I installed an Aprilaire #5000 E.A.C. in my home and have put quite a few in for customers that have allergy issues. It's a great aircleaner, but a bit pricey for some folks. The installation cost will vary based on the amount of work that needs to be done to install it. You can learn more about it here.
