"Rocky Vacuum, LLC was simply outstanding! Rocky, himself, answered my project within 30 minutes, personally called me to arrange appointment, arrived on-time (actually early), then provided quick troubleshooting of our central vacuum system. He then made several recommendations for us to choose from. Ultimately, we decided to replace our entire central vacuum system. Within 50 minutes, he was able to remove our old unit and replace it with a new central system. In addition, he offered many tips and advice to properly maintain our new system. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rocky and his team! You won’t be disappointed."

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.
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.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
