Q: Are central vacuums worth it?

• <div><p>Central vacuums can offer huge time savings and an easier way to keep your home clean and even improve the air quality inside your home. While it is a high upfront cost compared to a freestanding vacuum cleaner, it can offer so much convenience and performance over many years, which may make it worth the investment if you can budget for it.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to fix a vacuum or buy a new one?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long does a central vacuum installation take?

• <div><p>For the average-size house, a central vacuum installation usually takes <b>one day</b> of work by a team of professionals. Large houses may take two or more days. But if you are planning on a DIY project, it&rsquo;s likely to take much longer. We suggest getting a few estimates for a project this big and fully understanding all the requirements before you make a decision about installation. Certain parts of your house may not be usable during the installation, and you may want to make other plans.</p></div>

The installers were courteous and great to work with. We had over 30 windows installed, which obviously took some time. It was obvious towards the end that they were getting pressure from the top to get done. There were some issues with our new patio door that did not get completed correctly....
