"George was excellent. The fix was much simpler than expected and took about 10 minutes. George then reduced the quoted price from $125 to just $75 which I thought to be extremely fair. He also told me how to fix the issue the next time. I highly recommend Built-in-Vacuum System for any central vacuum needs."

"I have owned a central vac system since I purchased my home 13 years ago. I use it weekly, but am a novice when it comes to maintenance because I have not experienced any problems in all this time. When my system suddenly stopped suctioning, Albert spent what I felt was quite a bit of time educating me on not only my system but on central vac systems in general. A technician was scheduled at a convenient time. Reno was very knowledgeable and quickly discovered and corrected the problem. He gave my equipment a quick tune up. I highly recommend J.G. Manzi and would call again."

"The visit went so well. The plumber was friendly, relaxed, respectful and did a great job. While visiting it was clear that we needed some extra plumbing fixtures, which I was able to purchase while he was working. He completed the job with the plumbing system and related faucet working great."

"My Mother, recently passed away and it was no family secret that the house was in dyer need of attention, but after my father died my mom wouldnt let us disturb anything. After her funeral me and my other siblings did a tour of the old home and realized the exstent of the damages and nearly died. The home we all shared growing up was know more my mother and father always struggled to part ways with anything and often considered themselves collectors of sorts laughable" So anyway we were obviously torn on what direction to go,sell the property As Is or either bite the bullet and invest a sizable fortune back into the home. A few months later a very good friend of mines heard of a company that specializeed in such transition projects and referred me to TNTS I was immediately greeted by Brandon and his support team who presented me with barrage of options. They estimated the current value of the property, provided detail itemized estimates on repairs and cleanup After such a wonderful presentation we decided to hire TNTS. The package we chose consisted in packing, sorting, inventory the entire home, hauling away unwanted items and throughly cleaning the property throughout. Renovating the kitchen, bathrooms, restoring the deck. Painting the entire interior and replacing the exterior siding along with installing hardwood in the kitchen and living room. Then placing carpeting in 3 bedrooms. Since mom lived in the home for over 50 years and revered herself as a collector there team of techs had challenging task of packing inventorying, hauling away, the house was fully cleaned from top to bottom. As promised by Brandon the project only took 28 days from start to finish. They even went above and beyond and referred us to a wonderful realtor who sold our market ready house in less than 20 days upon completion. If you have multiple projects in one and you're looking to save time and money with a one stop solution I strongly recommend TNTS

Our total project was an unbelievable sucess and I owe it to the team of professionals over at TNTS

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whether talking about a whole-house central vacuum or a portable vacuum cleaner, the expected cost of major repair work should always be balanced against its replacement cost. However, excluding high-cost motor replacements or major electrical trouble, repairs on a central vacuum system are typically far less than the cost of purchasing and installing a new one.
