"My install was a retro fit. Patrick did a beautiful job. Interior wall plate and hide a hose fit perfect and all mess was cleaned up. Looks like the central vac was installed during construction instead of 30 years after home was built. Unit in garage is installed solid and clean. All pipes are tight and level. Unit is exhausted outside. Patrick made sure it all worked perfectly and that we had everything we needed to clean our floors before leaving. I do a bunch of work in my garage so he made sure I had the garage kit so that I could vacuum up saw dust and cob webs as well as vacuuming our cars. He removed all the empty boxes and trash. Other than the equipment being installed you'd never know he was there. Extremely happy with all aspects of the job and his service as well as the MD equipment installed. He arrived within 10 mins of the scheduled arrival time and it took him less than 4 hours to complete the whole job. It's a small home but a difficult attic to work in. Patrick is very friendly & personable and doesn't seem to get tired of answering questions. He also did everything he told me he'd do when he came by to see the house and give me an estimate. Very trustworthy."

"Lee and Carlos responded the day after I called them, and did an excellent drywall repair job in my garage; along with replacing the cabinet kickboard and baseboards in my bathroom. They were polite & professional as they went about their work. Highly recommend them!"

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it’s still limited. Any crack or gap larger than 1/4 inch is best left for a more intensive repair job. When you hire house painters, they should run a thorough check to see what they need to repair before they start the job.

Large repairs that caulking typically won’t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.

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.

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.
