"Don’t call anybody else! Claude is a skilled and honest professional. He was quick to respond, showed up as agreed and repaired our vacuum system quickly and at a very reasonable cost."
"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."
"Victor was on time and was able to get reinstall of central vac system very quickly. Be sure to let Galaxie know that you have a dog. This way they can tell Victor ahead of time."
"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."
"It was great to have one person to deal with renovations of the bathroom. The ability to synchronize the installation of plumbing and electrical so that the finishing work could be completed saved more then a week on the project. The contractor’s subs were on time and left the space clean and ready for use immediately."
"Scheduling went well initially, but we got a call the morning of the scheduled work saying the handyman had a family emergency and could not come. I called back a week later to see about rescheduling (they said "we were just about to call you!") - and another handyman came out 12 days after the initially scheduled appointment. In each of the three phone contacts with the company I made it clear that I needed help installing strapping over concrete in order to put up drywall in a closet in the basement and that the handyman would need to bring a hammer-drill in order to do the job. In the last contact prior to the appointment I told the rep that I would also likely be needing help installing a steel rack on the ceiling of the garage. I also made it clear that I had an appointment in the afternoon and we'd need to start at 8:00am sharp. The handyman arrived a little more than a half-hour late, without a hammer drill and with no ladder (just a light-weight step-stool). The messages about needing to bring a hammer-drill and doing work on the garage ceiling were evidently never passed along to him. Thankfully I had ladders and I had also purchased a hammer-drill, just in case.... So we were able to complete that part of the job, with him cutting the strapping with a chop saw and applying liquid nail and me doing most of the drilling and anchoring. The handyman was friendly and helpful, but didn't seem all that skilled. He worked steadily, especially sanding the drywall. The best thing about signing up for this big deal is that it helped me get motivated to tackle of couple of projects that had been hanging over my head. So for that, despite some of the glitches, I am grateful. "

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
