"I called ISIS sound when I need some advice on a new media room I wanted built in my basement.   After talking it over with Mr. Jones I hired him.   After a few short days everything I wanted to have installed was in-stock and Mr. Jones picked everything up from the distributor.  I didn't have to do a thing!    Mr. Jones and his guys came in and installed an 80inch plasma TV on the wall in my media room.  We also had a 9.2 Boston Acoustics surround sound and a Marantz sr7008 receiver installed.   All the wires were hidden in the walls, which is great!  The sound is unbelievable.    One of the best thing about the whole system is I can control it all with a really simple to use remote control or on my Ipad.  The guys at Isis sound even fixed the hand rails that we're loose going into my basement, and my sliding screen door while they we're here.    I almost forgot,  Every thing has a 5 year warranty so you have the piece of mind that the system wont cost you anything more for at least the next 5 years.   I highly recommend ISIS sound."

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.

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.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.

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.
