"This is the first time we used Home Advisor, so honestly, we were a little leery how it would work out. Our concerns were all for naught. We wanted a central vac system added to our house. Claude responded quickly, got the information he needed, and sent us a quote. Once we accepted, he ordered all the materials and set up a time for installation. He showed up on time, explained what he was going to do, and then did the installation. Afterwards, he went over everything in detail, giving us tips on the accessories, changing the bag in the vacuum unit, maintenance,etc. The installation was very neatly done. Claude is a true professional who takes pride in his work. He told us to contact him if we ever have any service issues. We would recommend him to anyone who values quality products and workmanship."

"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.

Install Central Vacuum FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

Yes, installing a central vacuum system typically adds value to your home. The ease of use, longevity, and superior suction power of a central vacuum system can add up to $2,000 to your home’s value if you decide to sell. Potential buyers may consider the central vacuum a perk to purchasing your home.
