"The power motor on my canister vacuum stopped working and I saw that the cover of a wire was exposed. I brought the whole vacuum into Cathey's Vac & Sew. I had to wait a few minutes while the person behind the counter helped someone else. Then I explained the problem to him and said that I'd also like to trade the vacuum in for an upright. He looked at the power motor, told me what the repair would cost, and asked about the floors in my house. The floors are all tile and I have a Persian carpet in the living room. He explained that the vacuum cleaner that I have is best for those kind of floors and does a much better job than an upright; that I should use the power motor only for the carpet and the floor attachment for the tiles; and that the vacuum I have would sell for about $450 today (about $200 more than I paid for it years ago). He was knowledgeable, efficient, and obviously was not in a hurry to sell me something I didn't need. He told me how long the repair would take and that he would call when it was ready. He called a few days later to say that they were a bit behind and would need to take the weekend rather than having it ready by Friday, then called Saturday to say it was ready. I appreciated the call to let me know that they might be late, even though I wasn't expecting it to be finished that soon anyway. The cost was exactly as projected, $35. <br />"

"Originally I only knew Catheys as a vacuum and repair shop, however a friend recommended them for custom and high end A/V work and installation. I spoke with Matt and outlined my specific needs and requirements and he was super knowledgeable and helpful. In the end I decided to hire them for the job, and couldn't be happier with the final results. It fel like a family run place and everyone was honest, informed, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Catheys!"

"I contacted David from Automation Specialists to provide an estimate to have the house we were buying fully wired with coaxial and network cabling for TV and Internet to each room and a handful of security cameras.  He came out and did a site visit and at the time was very friendly, easy to talk to, and informational.  After approximately 3-5 days, he provided an estimate as discussed.  His estimate was approximately $2k higher than some other estimates I had received, but I was OK with that because the residential structured wiring market is not straight forward.  As a week or two passed, my wife and I determined a few things that we'd like to do differently so I sent David an email with our proposed changes to include a diagram.  I explained that his company was on the higher end of the estimates that I had gotten and asked if I could purchase all the materials for the project myself and then just have his company provide the labor.  After a few days passed, he responded with a very bland, "I am no longer interested in your project".  I found this to be very rude and not the way to conduct business, especially in today's economy and uncertainty.  I know that I will never recommend his company to any of my friends or colleagues, and its a shame because they may do a very good job."
FAQs for central vacuum repair or service projects in Tucson, AZ

Central vacuum systems are a smart investment for homeowners, offering powerful cleaning performance and reducing noise levels in your home. They efficiently remove dust and dirt, lowering your daily maintenance chores. Plus, a professionally installed system can increase your home's value to interested buyers and make cleaning tasks simpler. Regular upkeep extends its life and functionality.

When choosing between cyclonic and filter central vacuum systems, opt for cyclonic units if ease of maintenance and simplified operation are critical, especially in secondary residences. For households with asthma, respiratory issues, or multiple pets, filter systems are recommended because they allow the integration of HEPA-certified bags and filters to ensure superior air quality and effective dust capture.

A central vacuum system lasts at least 10 years and can remain operational for up to 30 years with proper care. Regular professional maintenance, consistent filter replacements, and thorough cleaning of the in-wall piping ensure continued performance all year round. Consistent servicing by accredited professionals addresses minor issues, safeguards its operational integrity, and maximizes your investment.

The decision to repair or replace your central vacuum system depends on comparing repair expenses with new installation costs. Repair costs remain significantly lower than the expense of installing a new system. It is most cost-effective to restore functionality through professional repairs, except when critical components such as the motor or major electrical parts fail, which could justify replacement. If your central vacuum is over 10 years old and requires frequent repairs, it may be time to invest in a new system, too.

You can tell your central vacuum is clogged if you experience reduced suction and poor cleaning performance. Begin by checking the hose for a lack of suction and test each outlet systematically to locate any blockage. Consistent low suction indicates a clog within the system, and immediate inspection and remediation are required to restore reliable cleaning performance.
