Homeowners who are lucky enough to have a central vacuum system in their homes appreciate that the benefits of this easy and efficient cleaning system outweigh any cons. These systems provide a powerful and effective cleaning alternative to a normal vacuum cleaner. They can outlast the lifespan of different traditional vacuum cleaners.

Occasionally, it will be necessary to get central vacuum repair for your central vacuum. It is worth noting that the hoses may be clogged; the system may not be running at peak efficiency or you may need a new part. With proper maintenance, you will utilize the central vacuum system in your home for many years. Common problems with central vacuum systems that may need repairs include:

Clogs

Too much buildup of dirt, dust, pet hair or a stray object can lead to a problem with the suction of a central vacuum system unit. Dependent on where the clog is located, this may affect the performance of some or all inlets throughout the home, decreasing suction capabilities.

Electrical Problems

In older central vacuum systems, electrical problems or even electrical failure may happen at individual units or at the main unit. Vacuum systems may start functioning but suddenly stop. An electrical fault within the home may affect the central vacuum system or decrease the voltage to the main unit. Nota that any electrical problems are best left to a professional to evaluate.

Motor Malfunction

A broken or malfunctioning motor is most probably the result of advanced unit age or from overuse. The motor may be repairable or you may be required to replace the motor or the unit entirely. A motor repair is best done by a professional because when handled by a professional, it often maintains the manufacturer’s warranty.

You can try to troubleshoot these problems on your own. However, your best bet is to call a professional to repair the central vacuum system in your home. Besides, regular maintenance and inspections can also extend the life of your central vacuum system. To ensure that your system is working correctly, you should schedule regular maintenance checks and at least have it scrutinized by a professional annually.
