We needed our Central A/C Unit replaced. They were incredibly responsive, and performed the work in a quality, professional, and timely manner. While I hope to not need an HVAC professional anytime soon, if/when I do, I will be reaching out to this company.

Last cleaner always left me vacuuming afterwards. Chrissy came over last week, charged me $300 for the full house and it was great work. Bathrooms are spotless, kitchen feels sterile and nothing needs a touch up.

I was a little skeptical at first to hire a Plumbing and Heating company to do my air-conditioning work. We decided to replace the old 12 years old system by a new one. But they did a great job and I am very satisfied. Thank you, Lothar Hartmann

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

Before deciding whether or not to install a central vacuum system, consider the pros and cons to determine if it’s right for you.

Pros

Increased suction power
Improved air quality
Reduced noise pollution
Longer lifespan than traditional self-contained vacuum units

Cons

Higher upfront installation costs
Expensive repairs
Requires significant storage space

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.

Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.

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.
