When figuring out the best way to go about replacing your old central vacuum unit, due to malfunction, you should consider getting the parts that are not working replaced. 

Replacing Central Vacuum Parts

Central vacuums are less complicated in reference to accessories and spare parts. It is important to note that only the central vacuum motor moves in a central vacuum system. The rest of the parts are electrical and immobile. It is, therefore, easier to replace a central vacuum's components instead of replacing the whole system. It is also way cheaper to replace a malfunctioning part rather than buying a whole new system

Why you Need to Replace Malfunctioning Central Vacuum Parts

If your unit is really old, it is recommended that you change it. A new system will come inclusive of a warranty that will cover any future costs, be it repair or replacement. These are costs you would have to pay out of your pocket if you are replacing a unit without a warranty.

If the faulty part is the motor, then it will cost you more if you are to replace it. The Central vacuum motor accounts for about half the cost of central vacuum systems they provide suction power and are of unmatched quality. 

If you have no experience with any kinds of motors, it is not recommended to test the motor yourself. Look for a trustworthy handyman to check the fault or take it to a vacuum shop and have professionals have a look at it and diagnose the problem. 

If the motor is indeed the problem, you can easily have it replaced by opening the central vacuum unit and taking
