Founded in 1971 by Freeman Winslow, E.F. Winslow began as a small plumbing company. Today, E.F. Winslow has proven itself as Cape Cod's most reliable service company for plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, septic, oil delivery, central vacuum, remodeling and kitchen and bath design.

"Unresponsive and Unprofessional. Workers didn't show when they said they would. They did not finish the job, but told me they did. Left trash everywhere. They also installed an outdoors unit on my neighbor's property and want me to pay $7,500 to move it. This would have just been a simple fix, but they have been making it extremely difficult leaving me no choice but to file a complaint against their license and their bond."

Central Vacuum Cleaners questions, answered by experts

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.

While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it’s still limited. Any crack or gap larger than 1/4 inch is best left for a more intensive repair job. When you hire house painters, they should run a thorough check to see what they need to repair before they start the job.

Large repairs that caulking typically won’t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.

The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.

A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55 per hour.

Routine service inspections on your central vacuum cleaner help keep your vacuum running at its best while helping to avoid costly repairs. It’s best to schedule service inspections every two to three years for a professional central vacuum service to examine your unit. If you have several pets in your home or have a lot of dirt and dust, it’s best to schedule your inspections every one to two years.

Most home warranties cover either home appliances or home systems, and some cover both. Appliance packages will usually include protection for all kitchen appliances, like refrigerators, ovens, stoves, built-in microwaves, and dishwashers, with some covering washing machines and dryers. Systems-only plans normally cover the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, as well as most of the components. Combination plans cover the major appliances in addition to home systems.
