help with asbestos getting into AC

10 years ago

Our house was built 1976 which is under remodeling now. My contractor cut a lot of drywall to repipe and add recessed light. It was very hot, they turned on the AC all the time. I was told there might be asbestos in my drywall so I got it tested. The drywall compound is 2% chrysotile. I am so worried now. We moved out before remodeling and we are replacing everything including kitchen, bath and flooring. So my only concern is the AC because they turned it on when they cut the drywall. Will asbestos get in the system? What should I do so that there will be no problem when we turn on the AC later? Should I do duct cleaning or not? I search online, some said duct cleaning will make it worse. And our duct work is wrapped with asbestos, but all the visible ducts in attic was recently replaced with new ones. Pls help. Thanks!
