Indoor Air Quality: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performed studies and have found improper duct cleaning can pollute the indoor air many more times than if you had left the ducts alone. 

Insurance: Without liability and workers' compensation insurance, you will be responsible if someone gets hurt in your home.
