My only concern about the whole process was making a hole in the main duct in order to attach the vacuum. Didn't have time to make research on this method of cleaning but "destroying" a good vent and then patching it is not an productive way of doing things from my point of view.

When 2 weeks had gone by without a call from them, I gave them a call to check up. They told me that they would call back with an estimate, and they did within one day. The representative, Jay, told me that the brush and filter needed to be replaced and that he would call back when it was complete. He called back and I went to pick it up the following Friday. When I arrived, Jay said he had fixed it, but hadn't checked to see if it worked, so he plugged it in and in fact, it didn't work. The belt he had replaced it with was not the proper size. He told me he would call me the next day, Saturday, but I never received a call. By now, it had been 3 weeks since I had dropped it off. Granted, he did offer me a loaner vacuum to use in the meantime, but I was optimistic that it would be fixed and decided to wait. When my husband called and inquired, he was told it was ready and he could pick it up, but when he arrived, a few minutes after 7pm, they were closed. I picked it up the following Monday and it does seem to work fine, although it is a lot louder and Jay told me that they do not make a replacement belt for this model anymore. So when/if this belt goes, there will be no way to fix this vacuum again. He gave me a duplicate belt for when this happens. Overall, the quality of service was just fine. I was disappointed that the initial estimate/evaluation took so long, would I still be waiting if I hadn't called to check on it? Also, I can understand the delay from ordering different belts, but I would have appreciated more communication from the shop as to the status of the repair. When I finally got the cleaner back, Jay was very polite and didn't charge me for labor, only for the parts, which I thought was very reasonable."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/herndon/herndon-vacuums-reviews-2856124.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Sears","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SCOTT S."},"reviewBody":"I had Sears to my home on November for the annual check up of my three sears extended-warranty products; microwave, refrigerator and stove. While there I had the technican checked out an older (2005) Kenmore Elite refrigerator we keep in the basement that had ice formed in the freezer compartment. He said wasn?t qualified but needed a technican. I called and the soonest appointment was Friday November 26. On Wednesday November 24 we got a call from Sears saying the technican won't be coming on the 26th but the next available appointment is December 16. (remember that date) I called and complain and they rescheduled for the 30th when my 90 year old mother could let them in. When the technican came he said he just used the last part from his truck and we would have to order the part. It would take 15mintues to install and the labor charge would be $240 (He said some people it takes longer; the labor rate is set standard for replacing this module). When the part was sent to our home, we could then get it immediately installed. When the part came in December 5, we were told the installer could get it installed on December 16 between 8 and noon. I also got them to waive the outrageous installation fee. At 10am on 12/16 we got a call that the technican would be coming in the afternoon, (the person I had covering the house had to leave at 2. A neighbor was able to cover. We got a call that we were the next call at about 2:30; he was 15 minutes away. At 3, Sears lost contact with the technican who never showed up. Sears said we would have to reschedule for next year. I asked for a supervisor and told, after a 20 minute hold, that the technican was now scheduled for the next day; 12/17. He was schedule to come between 8 and noon. He showed up at 3 and it took 15 minutes to install. Once i get the ice picked away, I will find out if the problem is solved. Any reason I shouldn't cancel my service contracts with Sears?"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/gaithersburg/sears-reviews-5529365.htm"},"position":9}]}

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Potomac Falls, VA
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.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
