"Mike came to Annapolis yesterday to repair my central vac. Showed him the unit and then went inside for a short while and then asked him if he carried parts on what appeared to be a well-equipped truck. He said the motor wasn't on the truck; it was already installed. I was amazed. He was punctual, smart. fast and efficient and helped me use the warranty. Couldn't be happier with the service and expertise. Highly recommend."

"FABULOUS!! Ten Star Rating!!!!!! I can't truly say I hired Richard though. He called me 5 minutes after I contacted Service Master, and over the phone he diagnosed the problem with my central vacuum AND told me how to fix it, free of charge! Now that's service! Honest, efficient, and straightforward. I will definitely always call Central Vacuum Experts, whether for service or if/when we need a new system."

"Although we decided to hold off on this project for awhile, Justin provided excellent advice and provided a timely and complete cost estimate. Other companies provided a cheaper estimate but Justin's was complete and included the system our home needed. We will definitely select Justin and Superior Vacuums to do this project when we are ready."

"Used Mr. Mirgazy for a lot of work when finishing up our old home that we sold, and our new home after we bought it. He painted all of the rooms on our old home to prepare it for sale, and then in our new home he did framing, drywall, and painting for half of our basement that wasn't finished, he installed a new shower from scratch, including venting and tying into the drainline under the concrete slab, finished up the tile work in our kitchen, and did all the rough in work for an entirely new full bath. His work is always top notch, he is very thorough, and he is reasonably priced. I've had him come back multiple time for some other jobs over the last few years and I am always happy with the quality of his work."

Install Central Vacuum FAQs, answered by experts

A central vacuum system can be a worthwhile investment depending on your needs and budget. While the upfront cost is higher than a traditional vacuum cleaner, it offers significant long-term benefits. These systems can save you time and make cleaning your home easier, as you only need to carry the hose and vacuum head, eliminating the need to lug a heavy unit up and down stairs. They also tend to operate more quietly and can improve indoor air quality. The convenience and performance over many years may make it a valuable addition to your home if you can budget for the initial installation.

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.

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.

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.
