How do I know if my central vacuum is clogged?

• <div><p>It can be difficult to know right away if your central vacuum is clogged since it operates quietly compared to regular vacuums. However, there are a couple of signs you can look for. If you feel like it’s losing suction or isn’t cleaning effectively, then there’s likely a clog somewhere. </p><p>Make sure you turn the vacuum on and feel the end of the hose handle. If you don’t feel any suction, then you’re dealing with a clog in the hose. You can see if the clog is further down in the system by attaching the hose to each outlet until you find the one with the least amount of suction.</p></div>

Does a central vacuum use more electricity?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

The Technician was quick to respond and identify the problem. He was able to repair the leak and recharge the unit in a quick amount of time. He also was able to identify a capacitor that was almost ready to fail and replaced it. That will save me from a future service call to replace it. The...

It was a very balmy 103 degree Sunday. My A/C stopped blowing cold air. I called every heat and air repair company in a 30 mile radius and none answered except Webster's. I got off work at 4, and Chuck was waiting for me at my home. He took all of about 15 minutes to diagnose and repair a...
