Central Vacuum Cleaning

Using a vacuum to clean a vacuum.

When To Clean Your Central Vacuum

Central vacuum cleaning maintenance depends on how often you use the appliance. Generally, central vacuum canisters should be cleaned every three to six months, more often if used more frequently. You can tell your central vacuum needs to be cleaned when the suction is weakening.

Can I Clean My Central Vacuum Canister Myself?

Absolutely! Regular central vacuum cleaning and maintenance does not require any fancy or professional equipment. Simply locate your central vacuum canister, detach the hose and empty your central vacuum canister of dust and debris. Also check your filter to make sure it is in good condition – if it’s especially dusty, give it a quick vacuum to clear any dust build up. Reassemble and your central vacuum should be back to sucking! But…

When To Call In Help To Clean Your Central Vac

No time, or don’t have another vacuum to vacuum your vacuum? We can help!

“Oops….” If you’ve lost some things to the central vac more than a couple times, you might be experiencing some serious blockage. Hey, don’t worry. It happens. When your central vacuum lines are clogged with accidents, that’s where we come in. 

Using our high powered vacuum truck, we use high pressure air in each of your vacuum ports to clear any blockages and ensure maximum air flow in your central vac system. We then empty the canister, vacuum the filter, and dispose of all the debris. Don’t fret – we’ll also return any random treasures we may find!

- Timothy Goodkey

Called about strange burning smell coming from vents, called AB Furnace, the two gentlemen were so professional, put my mind at ease and even repaired what the last furnace cleaners damaged! They educated me on maintenance and what & when to check for things. Cost was way below value, had a wonderful experience and booked them for my next cleaning. Outstanding service!Service: Heating system maintenance

Very responsive as soon as I called I received a quote and I was booked in quite fast once I chose to go ahead with them.The crew was exceptional, very mindful of floors walls etc. Used blankets and window access to run hoses as needed so they wouldn't mark walls or floors. I really appreciated that and did not have to ask. Secondly they were efficient and fast, and explained everything to me. As well as discussing any items that I did not need and/or anything that was additional to quote, before doing the work, so no surprises!! Only variances from quoted price was number of vents in my home and that was because I missed some when I counted. After completing job everything was cleaned up, including excess dust near vents. They also went through anything that they found and a few other items such as humidifier, as it required a new filter. I had no clue no one ever explained the unit to me before. They helped explain what it needed and where to get it! This was above and beyond their scope of work and I was very appreciative of the information!!!Their pricing was midline it was not the cheapest quote nor the highest. They were recommended to me and the quality and service was definitely worth every dollar!!!Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning
