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: What types of repairs don’t require caulking?

• <div><p>While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it&rsquo;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.</p><p>Large repairs that caulking typically won&rsquo;t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.</p></div>

Q: Is a portable vacuum the same as a central vacuum?

• <div><p>No. Only the hose or the attachments are portable in a central vacuum system. A portable vacuum is a standalone model like a stick, canister, or upright. A central vacuum system is defined by a central power unit, which is installed in one place like an AC unit, and the connected network of piping to funnel the suction.</p></div>

Q: Why has my central vacuum lost suction?

• <div><p>If your central vacuum has lost suction, you probably have a clog in the system. You can remove a clog yourself using a portable vacuum cleaner or central vacuum maintenance sheets. Stubborn clogs or damage to the system require a specialized technician to repair.</p></div>

They are punctual, efficient, well priced and the customer rep that I talked to when I inquired and later requested their services was not only polite but expressed concern when I called the day after severe weather in our area. She remembered me and where I live. I'd recommend them to anyone!

They were very quick to get us scheduled, and were so very kind to my timid rescue dog. I picked them because other reviewers had said the same, and they were right. Lola looked lovely and happy when I picked her up! They even told me about, what turned out to be a tumor, on her mammory...
