Customers say: Quick response

"It is rare that I come across a contractor that is worthy of an all-around 5-star review, but Tom Dodge absolutely deserves that distinction. Tom efficiently installed a central vac system in my existing home over two days with surprisingly little disruption or construction intrusion. I found him to be prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and easy to work with in addressing my concerns and requirements. Tom is an honest, hard-working, hands-on, conscientious professional who does all of the installation work himself. I am very pleased with the installation and functionality of the retractable hose system. I highly recommend the system and am very satisfied that I hired Tom Dodge for the installation."

"I did receive a phone call within a few hours of my request. Unfortunately, they do not repair televisions and indicated that they would contact Service Magic to adjust their listing. Did give me the name of a local shop that does televison repairs. Home Technology Group sounds like a great company and I will definitely keep them in mind for the future. A quick call-back and very informative, just not the right company for my job request."

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it’s still limited. Any crack or gap larger than 1/4 inch is best left for a more intensive repair job. When you hire house painters, they should run a thorough check to see what they need to repair before they start the job.

Large repairs that caulking typically won’t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.

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.

Maintaining your central vacuum cleaner is crucial to extending its lifespan. Ensuring the filter is cleaned or changed often is vital to ensuring clogs don’t impact your motor. In addition, inspecting motor brushes regularly and lubricating the engine when needed helps keep it in tip-top shape. Finally, cleaning the central vacuum hose of dirt and debris helps keep clogs at bay, especially if you’ve vacuumed something wet or sticky.
