"Rebecca and her crew did a great job ! I purchased a business and the office space needed to be redone. She helped with the floors, painting amongst other things to make our office look nice. I would hire again to do work for me without a doubt. She's thorough, honest and always leaves the office clean after working on the job. I highly recommend Rebecca if you need this type of work done."

"I hired Luis Flores and his team for a number of handyman projects. I had my house, shed, drive way, patio and walk ways power washed. It’s the cleanest my house has looked since I had the siding and gutters replaced! I had the shed doors repaired and the ramp replaced. He did an excellent job with this. I had my shed, ramp, shutters, front door and wrought iron rails painted. He did an excellent job with this. Lastly, I had the door weather strip replaced. Also an excellent job."

"Excellent. Professionally done at a good price. Spelled out exactly how they would fix it, provided a reasonably priced estimate, and did work as they said they would. NO BS or come on. I went through several contractors/estimates, all of which tried to sell me what I did not need at a much higher price. Handyman in DMV was on the money with what needed down and with the work. Will hire them again."

He always asks questions to make sure the work he does is what the client wants. John is overall an extremely skilled man and has done different types of works with me from painting, cabinet installation, and even putting together/setting up furniture. John is beyond amazing and is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) when it comes to Home Improvement."

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.

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.

Before deciding whether or not to install a central vacuum system, consider the pros and cons to determine if it’s right for you.

Pros

  • Increased suction power

  • Improved air quality

  • Reduced noise pollution

  • Longer lifespan than traditional self-contained vacuum units

Cons

  • Higher upfront installation costs

  • Expensive repairs

  • Requires significant storage space

The best way to clean central vacuum pipes is to use a maintenance sheet to dislodge clogs and wipe the inside of the pipes clean. Alternatively, a professional can clean your central vacuum pipes for you.

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.
