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 do home warranties typically include?

• <div><p>Most home warranties cover either home appliances or home systems, and some cover both. Appliance packages will usually include protection for all kitchen appliances, like refrigerators, ovens, stoves, built-in microwaves, and dishwashers, with some covering washing machines and dryers. Systems-only plans normally cover the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, as well as most of the components. Combination plans cover the major appliances in addition to home systems.</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: What is involved in routine maintenance by professionals?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.</p></div>

I was so happy with the work they performed. They came exactly when they said they would and finished the job right on time. The work they performed was very nice and they cleaned up too! As a bonus, the bid they gave us was much lower than any of the others. 10/10 I would hire them again.
