"I’m sharing this publicly because I have been misled, overcharged, and repeatedly ignored by Aksarben, and after giving them every opportunity to make things right. What started as a simple routine service call under my HSP membership turned into a high-pressure sales situation. Shortly after the technician visit, a salesperson arrived and quoted me nearly $20,000 for what was described as a “top-of-the-line” system — including $2,400 for a new water heater, supposedly with HSP discounts. During the signing, the salesperson instructed me to rush through the “quality control” call and falsely confirm I had reviewed multiple system options. I was only given one option, with no effort made to provide alternatives. I have also since requested a copy of the QA recording and been completely ignored. After installation, I discovered they had left my 1990s humidifier connected to this brand-new system. I was never told this would not be replaced and was later informed I’d need to pay another $784 (and at different times $500 and $1,500) to fix it. These inconsistent and shifting quotes are deceptive. After consulting multiple licensed HVAC professionals, I confirmed the total price was $6,000–$7,000 higher than comparable systems. The equipment sold to me is not top-of-the-line by any reasonable standard. I requested an itemized breakdown of costs and have been ignored entirely. To make matters worse, the system failed inspection by MUD utilities and was declared unsafe, leaving my home without gas service, hot water, or laundry for days. Aksarben refused to honor its own 24-hour comfort guarantee and has not issued the promised $555 compensation. When I attempted to cancel the purchase within the 10-day window, both the salesperson and sales manager were “unavailable,” and I was promised callbacks that never came. Multiple texts, emails and phone calls have gone unanswered. I’ve asked for the following reasonable resolutions multiple times: 1. A partial refund reflecting the excessive overcharges. 2. Replacement of the outdated humidifier at no additional cost. 3. The $555 compensation for the failed 24-hour guarantee. Instead, I’ve received only silence and dismissive responses. At this point, I am formally filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, and other consumer protection agencies, and I am exploring legal action. This post is not an invitation for further discussion with Aksarben — it is a public statement of accountability. Homeowners deserve transparency, honesty, and respect, and my goal is to make others aware of how this company conducts business."

"Under no circumstances would I recommend John Henry’s. The fact that they have such glowing reviews makes me genuinely question whether they’re legitimate or incentivized internally, because my experience was the complete opposite. Nearly three weeks ago, I scheduled a duct cleaning and annual HVAC maintenance. On a Saturday, I received a call informing me they were “too busy” to keep my Monday appointment and wanted to push me out another two weeks. I told them that was unacceptable due to the heavy construction in my home and that I would need to look elsewhere. Suddenly, they were able to fit me in on Tuesday and offered a $50 credit. Tuesday arrives, and the problems start immediately. Two technicians showed up and left black marks on about 15 of my stairs. They initially denied it but eventually wiped them down with a cloth and water. Later, I discovered they somehow got paint inside one of my electrical outlets from dragging their cord across it. I spoke with the manager, who showed no concern or accountability for the damage. I was also informed—after they arrived—that they couldn’t complete my annual maintenance because neither technician was mechanically trained. So once again, I had to reschedule, and someone else came out the next day. The technician on Wednesday was by far the worst part of this entire experience. He was rude, dismissive, and clearly more focused on selling memberships than actually providing service. When I mentioned the $50 credit I had been promised, he looked at me like I was making it up. As he tried to upsell me on their membership, I asked if they could credit the duct cleaning since it’s included in that plan. Despite me telling him they had cleaned my ducts less than 24 hours earlier, he called the office claiming it happened the prior week. While on the phone, I could hear him questioning whether I even deserved the $50 credit I had been explicitly promised. When I asked if the 15% part discount (which is included with the membership I would be paying for monthly over a two-year lock-in) would apply, he acted as if I was asking for something unreasonable and told me I was “getting too many discounts.” None of these were random discounts—they were things they advertised. At this point his behavior confirmed my suspicion that this company prioritizes sales tactics and profit over honesty or customer service. I declined the membership. Once he finalized the bill, it was more than $150 higher than the quote I received the day before. Since then, I’ve called the office three separate times asking for a simple cost breakdown: the technician’s cleaning charges and the UV bulb replacement. The manager still cannot provide this and continues speaking in circles without answering my direct question. Bottom line: Do not hire this company under any circumstances. There are many HVAC, electrical, and plumbing companies that value their customers, communicate honestly, and provide professional service. John Henry’s is not one of them."

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

For the average-size house, a central vacuum installation usually takes one day 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’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.

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.

Technically, yes, you could install a central vacuum system on your own, but it is a very difficult DIY. There is a significant amount of planning, cutting into walls, and electrical wiring work that goes into it, which should only be performed by a professional. Because of the difficulty and expense associated with a central vacuum system, it’s worth it to hire a professional company familiar with the installation's complexities.

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.

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.
