Robert Rathbone Handyman Services 215N Cabot VT 802-522-6255 Central Vermont's Premier Handyman Services Provider. I have over 35 years of experience in ALL aspects of home care and repair. I believe that whatever project I am working on should be done properly, and to codes. I am not a hack, not a quack...I don't cut corners, and I don't mess around. I have 5 consecutive years of receiving Angi's Super Service Award for Quality and Excellence. Only about 1% on Angi can say that. Those are not participation awards. I believe in honesty and transparency. You found me on a bulletin board. I have not been vetted by Angi, and Angi will never refer anyone directly to me, because I am not a paying customer. This bulletin board is a free service that they offer to non-paying service providers. My reviews should assure you that I will give you highest quality results every time. I will pass ANY background check...the only negative mark on my name is being caught with one joint at Tunbridge Fair in 1986 (85?)...nothing else. I would like to discuss the one bogus bad review of my business....it took me over 5 years to find a person like this, and I found a real winner. This guy is something else...He was attempting to do framing work, using small, 2" 'L' brackets to tie it together. He tried more than once to add significantly more work on to an arrangement...without adding any additional compensation to the arrangement, then he got upset that I had the audacity to expect to get more pay for more work. The screen shots he is posting were for a completely different phase of the job....some time prior to our falling out. This self-inflating narcissist wants you to think I took 3 grand from him and split. Nope. I got a 300$ starting payment; half for starting that phase of the job, another 300$ was to be paid upon completion of that phase. THE 300$ WAS FULLY REFUNDED within 15 minutes of my leaving...unfortunately it only took him 8 minutes to trash me with a B.S. review. I didn't even charge for the work done. The work was in a space with no power and no heat. When the temperature went to single digits and below zero, I told him my battery-powered tools wouldn't work in that , and I wasn't much interested in working in it, either. (I was told to use hand warmers.) Since it was not an emergency, not an occupied structure, or even a dwelling waiting to be occupied, I said I would be happy to return when things warmed up a wee bit. This guy went off on me like he owned me. Verbally, not in text. That is when my communications stopped, and I walked...I should have done so sooner, for a multitude of reasons that I need not go into here. Enough of that. "Illegitimi Non Carborundum" I have an almost 100% call back rate. The folks who moved away from the area can't call me back, but all of my other clients certainly do. I restore vintage stereo equipment as a sometimes paying hobby...to keep that equipment in circulation, and to feel the gratification of seeing someone who will enjoy it when they purchase a piece from me. If you would like a nice piece, or entire system of restored vintage audio, I'm right here! I am 100% quality oriented, and I do not cut corners on any project. I will work late if time is a factor to complete a project, and I will respond for an emergency at any hour. I encourage my clients to ask questions...and I'll never talk down to you if you ask me about something I'm doing to your home...why and how. I always will have your best interests at heart, and I would never give you bad advice. I do not mark up prices on materials. My job is install em, not sell em. Nobody can say I sold them something they didn't need just so I could make a buck. I do charge, at my lower rate, to go fetch materials. I have a 1 hour charge for estimates...but it's deductible from the final bill. It covers my truck's addiction to gasoline. I shop locally as much as possible, and network with several other professionals in the area who share the same ethical and quality standards that I do. I feel I'm responsible for the project even if I'm not doing that particular segment of it. If you're not born handsome, ya gotta be handy! My labor rates are: 45$/hr for general work 65$/hr for technical work, like plumbing, electrical, and propane, etc. I do have a 2 hour minimum, in lieu of a service charge...so if I'm coming over, make a list!! Thank you for your time, and for visiting my page.
"Robert was great! He returned my call quickly and was at our place same day. He fixed the issue, was clean, courteous, and pleasant. Would hire again for future projects."

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 $55 per hour.
A central vacuum system can last between 10 and 20 years if maintained properly. The frequency of use and amount of maintenance dictate its lifespan. These central systems last significantly longer than portable vacuum cleaners, which last 8 to 10 years on average. Keep your central vacuum system in good condition by checking the hose, wand, and attachments for clogs and emptying the debris bag regularly.
The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.
Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
