"I needed to have some cleaning done in a hurry. I chose this company because of its good reviews, because they were able to offer next-day service and because they did carpet cleaning, pressure washing and tile cleaning with one truck and one visit.
The carpet cleaning went OK, but the pressure washing of exterior concrete pavers and brick pavers left behind several dirty spots (where puddles of dirty water had apparently been left to evaporate) that were not evident until the surfaces had dried.  I had hoped that the interior tile cleaning would remove built up dirt from the grout, but the tile really didn't look cleaner after the floor scrubbing than before.  That was money wasted, because on a square foot basis, the tile cleaning was more expensive than the carpet cleaning.
I talked to the owner of the company later, and rather than adjusting the bill, he sent the crew back to re-clean some of the exterior surfaces.  As a result, I changed my overall rating from a C to a B.  This company is responsive and professional, but they lack the right equipment to clean interior tile floors.  I obtained better results cleaning some tiles a few years ago by using a scrub brush and a box of baking soda.  I would use this company again only for carpet cleaning.

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Experienced professionals don’t usually need to take down drywall to install the central vacuum. They are experienced in working in the tight spaces between walls and in crawl spaces to minimize any damage. The only drywall changes should be the holes cut for the new outlets. However, home design, existing plumbing, and other factors may require some modification. An estimate from a professional contractor should include information if any changes need to be made.

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.

Technically, yes, you could install a central vacuum system on your own, but it is a very difficult DIY. There is a significant amount of planning, cutting into walls, and electrical wiring work that goes into it, which should only be performed by a professional. Because of the difficulty and expense associated with a central vacuum system, it’s worth it to hire a professional company familiar with the installation's complexities.
