"When I saw some soot around a wall vent opening, I took off the vent cover and noticed how the duct was realllllly dirty. It had been awhile since they were professional cleaned outside of my cleaning a little bit with a vacuum cleaner (when I remember). Beside a furnace, A/C I also have a whole humdifier and air purifier attached to the furnace. I received serveral estimates for cleaning and was amazed at the price increases since the last time I had the ducts cleaned. Mr Duct was reasonable, asked the most pertinent questions regarding my system and I scheduled with them. They were completely professional, followed COVID 19 guidelines and did a more thorough job than the last time I had it done. They showed me after pictures. I highly recommend Mr. Duct."

"Porterhouse Heating and Cooling was very professional and knowledgeable on the service provided. I used them to install my air conditioner unit. Eventhough, the unit was not my issue, they still came out and was able to find the issue and fix it. They were friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. I will definitely use again for any of my HVAC concerns."

"My AC died on me in the middle of the night, so I texted them instead, using the Home Advisor App...They responded before I had my first cup of coffee in the morning! They sent out Art to help me shortly after hanging up... WOW !!! Art knew right away the problem and went to his truck for the part, and it was fixed in minutes. Even before the HOT SUN started to bake my house... I am extremely grateful. They now have me as a permanent customer for both my central air and heating systems... I highly recommend it."

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

If your central vacuum has lost suction, you probably have a clog in the system. You can remove a clog yourself using a portable vacuum cleaner or central vacuum maintenance sheets. Stubborn clogs or damage to the system require a specialized technician to repair.

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.

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.

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.
