Central Vac Repairs, Sales and Installation
What is a central vacuum? A central vacuum cleaner (also known as built-in or ducted) is a type of vacuum cleaner appliance, installed into a building as a semi-permanent fixture. They send the dirt through a duct system in the walls to a container system. The power unit is usually installed in a basement, garage or storage room, along with the collection container. Inlets are installed in walls throughout the building that attach to power hoses and other central vacuum accessories to remove dust and particles from a room. Most power hoses typically have a power switch located on the handle.
Often times your central vacuum can break or clog, or have unit problems. When that happens you can turn to Brothers Sew & Vac, who has been repairing and installing central vac systems in DC Metro homes for over 50 years.
If you have any of these problems you should call Brothers for repairs:
Your system is acting odd, turning on and off or staying on continuously:
This is most likely a circuit board problem, but could also be your home’s internal low voltage wiring. When the power is turned on, a circuit is completed and the vacuum unit is turned on. If the vacuum is staying on all the time or randomly turning on and off then it is possible that this wiring is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Your suction isn’t as good as it used to be:
This could be from many things, but it’s usually due to a burnt out motor or a clog in your system. Figuring out which one it is can be done by isolating the closest inlet valve then using a suction gauge to measure the the CFM and inches of H20 (inches of suction) that the vacuum is providing. If it is a clog then our technicians will find it, remove it using a reverse suction machine, then make sure everything else is working. If your unit needs to be replaced or if the motor is bad, Brothers can make the repairs right in your home to get you up and cleaning again. Brothers carries all parts for every brand of vacuum.
