"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."

"Jose did a good job in fixing our rental townhouse in Germantown, MD. He fixed the front door which was very hard to close, parts of the door frame were rotten due to water which leaked down to the basement. He did a few other fixes around the house. Great job, reasonable price, dependable, good to work with. Will hire again in the future. -Surja"

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement. 

Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.

It can be difficult to know right away if your central vacuum is clogged since it operates quietly compared to regular vacuums. However, there are a couple of signs you can look for. If you feel like it’s losing suction or isn’t cleaning effectively, then there’s likely a clog somewhere. 

Make sure you turn the vacuum on and feel the end of the hose handle. If you don’t feel any suction, then you’re dealing with a clog in the hose. You can see if the clog is further down in the system by attaching the hose to each outlet until you find the one with the least amount of suction.

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.

Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.
