What are common repairs for central vacuum cleaners?

<div><p>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. </p><p>Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/central-vacuum-systems/">local central vacuum repair professional</a> can tell you the best plan of action for your system. </p></div>

How much does central vacuum cleaner repair cost?

<div><p>The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is <b>$310</b>, though prices can range from <b>$120 to $500</b>. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.</p><p>A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around <b>$50</b>. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of <b>$100 to $500</b>. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from <b>$15 to $55</b> <b>per hour</b>.</p></div>

How much do HVAC companies typically charge?

<div><p>The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between <b>$50 and $150</b> per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between <b>$150 to $500</b>. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.</p></div>

Should HVAC technicians be certified or licensed?

<div><p>Yes, most states require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-hvac-certifications-do-technicians-need.htm">HVAC technicians to be certified</a>, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. </p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: </p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi </p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

"Rob, was a true professional in conveying his steps to what he was going to do. He and the assistant were very polite, professional and kept the work area clean and damage free. I gave the job 4 stars because, I would have hoped that all the vents were sealed off except the one actively being cleaned. The negative air flow would have been better if only one register at a time was opened resulting in maximum air flow back to the vacuum system. One aspect of the job I hadn't noticed was the vacuum hose connected to the access hole in the plenum was sealed with tape. Rob explained that this is what they do when a family member who was considering using Rob asked how the vacuum connects to the plenum (trunk). All mentioned above was my only slight misgiving about this job. I would however use Rob again."

From dust, dirt and dander to debris and allergens, any number of potentially harmful particles can get trapped inside your duct system. A dirty duct system will continue to re-circulate this contaminated air and, in some cases, it can escape the system and be distributed inside your home. In other cases, it can stay in your ducts and continue to attract even more dust, increasing the amount of contamination day after day. Our professional air duct cleaning system features powerful vacuum equipment to reach deep into your air duct system, remove the contaminants and help get a dirty duct system working efficiently again.

"Everything went very well. Will use them in the future for preventative maintenance."

"This was the worst experience i have ever had with a company. They came and damaged my house and kept us without AC for days. They admitted to the extensive damage and went weeks before attempting to repair it. The services were never fully completed and they were paid over 90% of the job. I disputed the last 10% and provided overwhelming evidence of their negligence. And after a year their last ditch effort was to send collections letters. Don't walk, RUN from this company.
