- Home Vac did my place, and boydid they ever earn their pay.
- they pulled just pounds of lint and dog hair out of the registers.
- they used a skipper and the giant truck vacuum, plus blew high pressure
- air down the vents. it's still not that efficient, 4 months later
- we had to move a vent line and found junk the vacuum had not pulled out.

- it helps, but it isnt perfect. BTW they give a discount for repeat
- customers because there is no setup, and i think it was only $250
- for the first time. they run ads in the bethesda gazzette.....
