A central vacuum is a permanent vacuum system that's installed throughout a building. It uses a central motor to suck dust, dirt and allergens through PVC pipes into a collection unit. A central vacuum's motor unit is usually located in a basement, garage, or utility room. A network of PVC pipes runs through the walls of the building and inlet valves are installed in walls throughout. To clean, plug a lightweight hose with cleaning attachment into an inlet valve. We have been in business for over 30 years. We solve problems and tackle projects that others have tried and failed. We are professionals who do one thing and one thing right and we are the best at what we do.

Rather than hiring multiple service providers to handle each job, let My Handyman of Dover, Portsmouth and Rochester take care of them “On time. Done right.®” Founded in 1996 and served nearly one million customers throughout North America, we are known as a one-call solution for a variety of residential and commercial repair and maintenance needs.

"Company put in a kitchen tile backsplash. It was a lot of trouble and it came out poorly around the cooktop. They agreed to finish and fix it up but it was still not completely done after paying them good money for it. Also cracked a tile that's installed. I got fed up with them not getting back to me. They made promises they didn't keep and supposed to guarantee their work. I've posted a more detailed post on other platforms. They charge way too much and don't provide the quality for their prices. Except for small jobs I would look elsewhere. They disappointed me after much assurance. Be sure the technician they use knows what he's doing as they hired new people and took chances with customers who pay well for their services. Also promised to complete some crown molding but it was lip service. Kept saying they were waiting on some molding for us and it never happened."

Central Vacuum Cleaners questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement. 

Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.

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.

One advantage of a central vacuum system is that it can last for a very long time, especially when it’s well-maintained. You can expect a high-quality system to last at least 20 years. At this time, you may need to replace the main power unit, but the central vac system can continue functioning with new parts.
