"Tim and his crew were awesome! They installed the central heat and A/C unit in one day. They also installed 200 amp electrical service and repaired the stucco on the outside wall of the house where the breaker panel was installed. A true one stop shop. This is the first time I have ever written a review but I felt that their exceptional service and pricing should be shared with anyone looking for contractor to do what they do."

"All services were completed professionally. Due to miss communication part of the service was not conducted (dryer vent cleaned), following contact promptly and professionally this was corrected the next day. I would recommend them for having your vents cleaned."

"They fixed the capacitor and got the unit working, but I felt the price of $450 to replace a capacitor was high. That said, it is summertime and pricing is considered "high season" so I elected to go forward with the repair. I was happy to have it repaired quickly and professionally even though the cost of repair was probably elevated. More importantly to note was that there was a misunderstanding regarding membership for which the office quickly stepped up and corrected the matter. I am grateful for that and therefore would use them again on a future repair."

"The job was done quickly. The plumber installed a new garbage disposal, fixed the sink faucet issue another plumber said was unfixable, and repaired a toilet. He was polite, efficient and cleaned up after himself thoroughly."

"Mike Alamillo was a wonderful person! I pestered him for prices and model numbers for HVAC equipment and he patiently supplied me with information. (I suggest that we customers do our research before we pester contractors. ;-)) He and his crew were very polite, very professional, and did an outstanding job. I'd recommend SW Heating & AC to anyone!"

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

No. Only the hose or the attachments are portable in a central vacuum system. A portable vacuum is a standalone model like a stick, canister, or upright. A central vacuum system is defined by a central power unit, which is installed in one place like an AC unit, and the connected network of piping to funnel the suction.

It can be difficult to know right away if your central vacuum is clogged since it operates quietly compared to regular vacuums. However, there are a couple of signs you can look for. If you feel like it’s losing suction or isn’t cleaning effectively, then there’s likely a clog somewhere. 

Make sure you turn the vacuum on and feel the end of the hose handle. If you don’t feel any suction, then you’re dealing with a clog in the hose. You can see if the clog is further down in the system by attaching the hose to each outlet until you find the one with the least amount of suction.

Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement. 

Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.

A central vacuum system can be a worthwhile investment depending on your needs and budget. While the upfront cost is higher than a traditional vacuum cleaner, it offers significant long-term benefits. These systems can save you time and make cleaning your home easier, as you only need to carry the hose and vacuum head, eliminating the need to lug a heavy unit up and down stairs. They also tend to operate more quietly and can improve indoor air quality. The convenience and performance over many years may make it a valuable addition to your home if you can budget for the initial installation.

The disadvantages associated with central vacuums start with cost. They are expensive to install, especially in existing homes, as retrofitting requires opening walls. The system's bulky hoses can also be inconvenient to maneuver and store compared to portable vacuums. Additionally, repairs may need professional service, adding to maintenance costs. Lastly, while powerful, they may be overkill for smaller homes or apartments, making the investment less practical for some households.
