Q: How long does a central vacuum installation take?

• <div><p>For the average-size house, a central vacuum installation usually takes <b>one day</b> 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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of central vacuums?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to tear down drywall to install a central vacuum system?

• <div><p>Experienced professionals don&rsquo;t usually need to take down drywall to install the central vacuum. They are experienced in working in the tight spaces between walls and in crawl spaces to minimize any damage. The only drywall changes should be the holes cut for the new outlets. However, home design, existing plumbing, and other factors may require some modification. An estimate from a professional contractor should include information if any changes need to be made.</p></div>

Q: How many years does a central vacuum last?

• <div><p>One advantage of a central vacuum system is that it can last for a very long time, especially when it&rsquo;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.</p></div>
