"The good and the bad. Small jobs may be ok but a large job seems to be to much to handle. For the good They showed up on time The price was good They were polite Now for the bad The gentleman does not speak good English so communicating is difficult. They didn’t put any floor protection down i.e. paper so the floor was a complete mess. Drywall mud all over and also spray paint on tile. When installing the drywall there were a bunch of huge gaps, which exceeded a half inch. Drywall gaps should not exceed more than a quarter inch. When hired I told them, I wanted the drywall to be as smooth as my other walls however, there were a bunch of imperfections. When I seen, they started painting with a $50 per gallon paint that I purchased that was a paint and primer in one , I immediately stopped them because you could see the imperfections so I said you have to do the primer first. As with any Drywall job if they are not 100% percent perfect they need to place primer to see all the imperfections and make the repairs otherwise when you put a semi gloss paint on all the imperfections will pop out. After speaking with the wife, I was told to Mark any spots that needed fixing which I did before they came out another day. When he shown up, he appeared to be irritated. He said he is done and doesn’t want additional payment. I paid them 2000 versus the 3000 however, the following was not completed. Painting on the new Drywall Touching up the flaws on the Drywall Doing the tile work on the fireplace Painting the stairwell I would not recommend them for a large Drywall job unless you are looking to have only drywall hung without having the finishing / mudding performed."

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

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.
