"Since May 2011--when I purchased a home and a buyer's home warranty-- I have had three electric-related issues (ceiling fan replacements and electrical wiring issue) to which Dico Electric responded.  The most recent was circa January 10, 2012.  In each cases, I found Dico Electric representatives to be conscientious and helpful which was really exemplified during their last service call.  Specifically, Dico Electric volunteered to come to my home in the early evening to examine an electrical wiring situation which was obviously of concern to me.   The fact that they made a late service call saved me from coming home from work early the next day (that translates into dollars and cents!) As well, at the same time, I felt better that the electrical issue was reviewed and resolved very quickly by a professional.  I noted that their mission/vision statement, which is stated in detail on their business card says, in part, "It is our goal to provide the best service and to exceed your expectations..."(mission statement) and 'it is our goal to be the only electrical contractor you will ever need  (vision statement).  Based on my experience, DICO went above and beyond in meeting my expectations and I will be using them again in the future."

Install Central Vacuum questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.

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.
