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: 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: How do you clean central vacuum pipes?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of central vacuums?

• <div><p>The disadvantages associated with central vacuums start with cost. They are expensive to install, especially in existing homes, as retrofitting requires opening walls. The system's bulky hoses can also be inconvenient to maneuver and store compared to portable vacuums. Additionally, repairs may need professional service, adding to maintenance costs. Lastly, while powerful, they may be overkill for smaller homes or apartments, making the investment less practical for some households.</p></div>
