According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), geothermal systems are the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available today. Simply put, a geothermal system moves the heat from the earth into the building in the winter, and pulls the heat from the building and discharges it into the ground in the summer and/or is used to heat water. An underground series of pipe loops serve as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer. We will show you how to tap the earth's free underground energy treasure. Call Today!

Central Vacs Unlimited is a family-owned business which was started in 1974 and has been under the current ownership since 1997. We are one of the largest dealers of central vacuums and intercoms in the mid-Atlantic area. The showroom is stocked with many of our products enabling customers to "test drive" them before they are installed. We do not subcontract our work. Our own employees do the installations and make service calls. We are not aligned with a single manufacturer like many other companies. In fact, we offer more brands and product choices than virtually any other company. This enables us to provide products which meet the exact needs of our customers. Free estimates are provided on installation of new systems. We offer free technical support over the phone. Often, we help customers troubleshoot and repair systems on their own. Our courteous staff is available six days a week to greet our customers. We welcome an opportunity to work with you.

"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."

"When our boiler went out in the middle of a snowstorm, Troy came to our rescue! Incredibly professional and kind - especially given the terrible weather, he arrived quickly, diagnosed the problem almost immediately, replaced the board and restored our heat! All of this at a very reasonable price! Troy- thank, thank you, thank you! Needless to say, Troy has permanent customers- we can’t recommend him more highly!"

"Never finished the job. The handyman they sent was competent and hard-working, and the prices were reasonable, but working with the office staff to get him out to my home was difficult and unpleasant. My job was a 2-3 day job (partly because plaster needs time to cure, paint needs to dry, etc.), but they just wouldn't schedule him to finish it. The office staff were hostile and blamed me for their scheduling difficulties, as though I was the problem. They've cancelled their last two scheduled appointments at the last minute and are unable to give me any more dates."

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

One advantage of a central vacuum system is that it can last for a very long time, especially when it’s well-maintained. You can expect a high-quality system to last at least 20 years. At this time, you may need to replace the main power unit, but the central vac system can continue functioning with new parts.

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

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.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
