"Remarkably competent and well equipped with parts for older central vacuums. Contacted us on the weekend, came over next day and replaced our old worn out motor in about an hour ( 10 year part warranty). WOW! A real go to pro."

"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."

"Initially I felt that the repairs were excellent, liked the colors they chose which matched the house colors and brightened things up.Later, I noticed that some of the boards on the back stairs were cracking and that the boards were not cut evenly.  I called Jorge (who was my contact at that time) and informed him what had happened.  He sounded not interested, did not want anymore information.  No one came to investigate.  I waited a few months and called the company back and spoke with Johnny who informed me that Jorge did not work there anymore.  I discussed with Johnny what had happened and he informed me that there would be someone to come and look at the stairs, etc.  Within one week a company supervisor came by to survey the job and reported that that's not how we do things.  Last week they came by and fixed the stairs etc.  Now everything looks great.  It was a pleasure to work with Johnny and perhaps I may do business with them again, but not in the immediate future. The grades on this review reflect the current people with the company not the ones who originally did the work."

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.
