"Evan fixed 2 of my outlets, had a carpet head to sell me to replace my broken one (YAY!) , macgyvered my existing hose with some electrical tape so that I may get a little more life out of it (Double YAY!) and checked out my base unit in garage to ensure all was in working order. Minor detail in retrospect- he was 15-20 min late. But once he arrived and fixed my repairs in a timely manner I was glad for the wait."
"John was great! He came right away, on a Sunday, and put a new central vac unit in for me. I love the new unit, it is so much better than my old unit!"
"Furance was not working, call House Doctor. They were out the next day and got it back up and running. Professional and efficient. Plus, very affordable."

"Completely satisfied with their service. Had us fixed an running the same day we called them. Very freindly people. Would call them again if I needed their service"
"The service was real professional - great - I mean real nice! I was very pleased to see that they took the initiatives to do those "extra" little things that I would not have normally expected: I only expected vacuuming, dusting, general counter cleaning and general tidying.
Some examples:
Dusting ...they made sure they moved all items from surfaces and properly cleaned the surfaces before putting the items back. The cleaned under these items and must have used a glass cleaner because those surfaces were proper. They not only dusted the ceiling fans, but they did a proper cleaning to remove all dirt on the blades. They dusted the baseboards near the carpet, top of the door, blinds - everything.
My flat screen TVs ? screens clear!
Vacuuming ...carpets looked great. I think they put a freshener on the carpet before vacuuming because my place smelled beautiful when I came home. Kitchen and bathroom floors - No dirt/hairs/stains. The floors are shiny.
Counters and sinks - All stains, hard stains, debris - are gone. Stove ? top degreased. Bathrooms - everything clean! Tidying ? Properly arranged my books and all items. Trash bags ? changed. Again, they did much more than I expected and were real professional on how they dealt with me, their work and their follow-up.
Frankly I am completely satisfied. - and then more!"
"It was ok. I brought out the Shark vacuum cleaner but they still just used their dust mop and broom? Soap scum was left on the shower door in the downstairs bathroom. I am not picky but my sweetheart noticed that when she got home and inspected the job."
"Great work. Great communication. Replaced the outlets and covers in my master bedroom. Cleaned up after himself. Got me on the schedule quicker than I expected. Definitely will recommend and use again."

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts
The best way to clean central vacuum pipes is to use a maintenance sheet to dislodge clogs and wipe the inside of the pipes clean. Alternatively, a professional can clean your central vacuum pipes for you.
Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.
A central vacuum system can be a worthwhile investment depending on your needs and budget. While the upfront cost is higher than a traditional vacuum cleaner, it offers significant long-term benefits. These systems can save you time and make cleaning your home easier, as you only need to carry the hose and vacuum head, eliminating the need to lug a heavy unit up and down stairs. They also tend to operate more quietly and can improve indoor air quality. The convenience and performance over many years may make it a valuable addition to your home if you can budget for the initial installation.
While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it’s still limited. Any crack or gap larger than 1/4 inch is best left for a more intensive repair job. When you hire house painters, they should run a thorough check to see what they need to repair before they start the job.
Large repairs that caulking typically won’t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.
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.
