"Our central vac was not working and the gentleman came the following day to work on our system and was able to repair for a reasonable cost! Very honest in his workmanship and vac works better than ever."
"He was professionnel, on time and I asked him to look at a drawer on my vanity and he fixed it no charge. Great customer service. Didn't rush. He even cleaned up after his self. I was very satified. Give 10 stars"
"I thought Justin was wonderful. He came quickly, diagnosed the problem and fixed my machine the next day. He didn�t charge me for the first service call. He put in a new motor thereby saving me money of buying a whole new central vacuum. I had to pay someone before him just to come and look but I decided I didn�t think this first guy knew exactly what he was doing and his repair seemed too complicated. Through your service, I find Superior Vacuum and was very happy."
"Not a central air install but a mini-split. Installed in an older home with window units. The new 24000 BTU Mini-Split was installed, wiring work, and all cleanup was done by Zack HVAC Services in one day. Professional, efficient, and courteous team that delivered. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out for any future work or refer them to family and friends."
"Technician (Rich) showed up on time and listened to me regarding what the problem was. He then began his trouble shooting and before he started actual repairs, came in and explained what he had found, how they related to the problems I described, and his recommendation on repairs (replace one capacitor, keep another through rest of cooling season, and reattach one wire that had come loose). He suggested we get a complete system check at the beginning of next season to determine remaining life of compressor and if/where a coolant leak may be. He felt current system should make it through the remainder of the season without problems. I appreciated his listening, thoroughness in checking out the system, and explanation at the right level of detail for me to understand. This is my first time using Airbenders but plan to switch to them as my regular HVAC people."
"C.M.W. provided expert installation of our central vacuum system. Their pricing and value were competitive. The technician, William, who installed our system informed us of all work prior to beginning and left all areas clean upon finishing. We are more than pleased with their service and recommend C.M.W. products and services."
"Fabulous! Go no further in search of a handyman who is on time, professional, delivers quality work at a reasonable price. He is very pleasant, courteous and delivers all he promises. I plan to use him for all my handyman needs!"

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.
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.
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.
Maintaining your central vacuum cleaner is crucial to extending its lifespan. Ensuring the filter is cleaned or changed often is vital to ensuring clogs don’t impact your motor.
