The reason for the lower mark on responsiveness is that we had to ask for our key back more than once. I didn't get a response until the third or fourth time, and the owner apologized and said she was busy. I don't think this is a bad company, but they could use some tightening up of processes. One never knows the full story unless you walk a mile in their shoes, but the cleaning services market is competitive, and we found another service.

Removal and installation of a Carrier and quot;Infinity Seriesand quot; 3 ton - 15 SEER system was accomplished all on one day as stated. The crew were very friendly and professional. The system was turned on after Ryan from Four Seasons Electric hooked up the system and a programmable thermostat. After the installation team was satisfied the system was operational and the site was cleaned up they announced they were leaving but another technician would be around within the hour. The technician arrived and inspected the installation and explained the system, thermostat operation and answered any questions we may have had.
The next day we met with Katie at the office regarding the billing and to our surprise she had all the rebate forms accomplished and ready for our signature. She also provided a product registration confirmation letter for the 10 year parts and labor warranty.
It was a pleasure from start to finish.

We initially purchased the Angie's List Deal for four hours of cleaning. The initial cleaning went well. The girls did a great job (3 of them for 1 hr 20 min), and I began a schedule for every other week on a day that we weren't home. The first time back, they did great. The time after...

FAQs for central vacuum cleaner service projects in Ottertail, MN
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.
Routine service inspections on your central vacuum cleaner help keep your vacuum running at its best while helping to avoid costly repairs. It’s best to schedule service inspections every two to three years for a professional central vacuum service to examine your unit. If you have several pets in your home or have a lot of dirt and dust, it’s best to schedule your inspections every one to two years.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
A central vacuum system can last between 10 and 20 years if maintained properly. The frequency of use and amount of maintenance dictate its lifespan. These central systems last significantly longer than portable vacuum cleaners, which last 8 to 10 years on average. Keep your central vacuum system in good condition by checking the hose, wand, and attachments for clogs and emptying the debris bag regularly.
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. In addition, inspecting motor brushes regularly and lubricating the engine when needed helps keep it in tip-top shape. Finally, cleaning the central vacuum hose of dirt and debris helps keep clogs at bay, especially if you’ve vacuumed something wet or sticky.
