"Actually S&H sent someone they work with for central vac repair. He was prompt, knowledgeable, pleasant, and had the outlet working again within a half hour. Helped that we were able to get a "new" outlet from across-the-street neighbor who had gotten rid of her system (both systems were part of the original house equipment)."

"David from AirBenders , came out to Sterling, VA was a great guy and knowledgeable. From working on these systems for so long, he almost had a sixth sense about what could be the problem from the symptoms I provided him. He explained everything to me as he fixed the problem. I definitely recommend this company for any plumbing or ac repair"

"The folks from Rick's were professional and checked my heating system thoroughly to try to find and correct a noise issue I had on the upstairs level. They also checked my furnace in the basement to be sure it was working properly. While unfortunately the symptom (and reason for my call) did not present itself while they were in my home and so could not be diagnosed/corrected, they were very courteous and did everything they could."

"Rebecca and her crew did a great job ! I purchased a business and the office space needed to be redone. She helped with the floors, painting amongst other things to make our office look nice. I would hire again to do work for me without a doubt. She's thorough, honest and always leaves the office clean after working on the job. I highly recommend Rebecca if you need this type of work done."

"I hired Luis Flores and his team for a number of handyman projects. I had my house, shed, drive way, patio and walk ways power washed. It’s the cleanest my house has looked since I had the siding and gutters replaced! I had the shed doors repaired and the ramp replaced. He did an excellent job with this. I had my shed, ramp, shutters, front door and wrought iron rails painted. He did an excellent job with this. Lastly, I had the door weather strip replaced. Also an excellent job."

"We had a very unique location in our basement and wanted a barn door. Since the location was not typical a significant amount of thought had to go into hanging and sealing the door gap. William came up with a plan and installed and painted the door. We also needed hardware installed on the door. The team did EXCELLENT work and I would hire them again. At times the team was not the easiest to connect with and they were late once. However, I am very satisfied with the work and the price was competitive."

Central Vacuum Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maintaining your central vacuum cleaner is crucial to extending its lifespan. Ensuring the filter is cleaned or changed often is vital to ensuring clogs don’t impact your motor. In addition, inspecting motor brushes regularly and lubricating the engine when needed helps keep it in tip-top shape. Finally, cleaning the central vacuum hose of dirt and debris helps keep clogs at bay, especially if you’ve vacuumed something wet or sticky.
