I just finished reading an article "Breathe Easier In Your Home" out of a local magazine called Women's Edition, October 2013 issue. This article is all about finding and setting a time to clean your ducts and other system components along with your carpets twice a year. It recommends once in the spring and once in the fall to have your carpets professionally cleaned to get rid of all the dirt, dust and mites that may be trapped in the fibers of your carpet. The EPA doesn't offer any guidelines on how often you should have your ducts cleaned, but it should be done as needed.
"When choosing a professional duct or carpet cleaning service, it is important to do your homework. Look for industry designations such as CRI and the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). And, as with any professional service provider, be sure to ask for an estimate, but don't let price be your only consideration."
Other online sources for information are:
www.epa.gov
www.nadca.com

www.iicrc.org
Below is a link from NADCA's website on Energy Savings in your home. Take the time to view as it's important to keep your HVAC systems working properly.

To protect your carpet, vacuum entrance areas and high-traffic areas twice a week and the rest of the carpeting at least weekly. Oily soils attract oily soils, and frequent vacuuming will reduce soil buildup. http://waterdamagerestorationdallastexas.com/tag/hoover-carpet-cleaner/
