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!

Fantastic customer service throughout the entire customer engagement life cycle. The quote was reasonable and comparable to other service providers, the staff were prompt, polite, and very diligent and thorough with the duct, furnace, AC, and dryer cleaning. I also appreciated their level of engagement, as well as their courteousness while working from home during the appointment. Would strongly recommend Alberta Furnace Cleaning!Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning

Two techs arrived for this work. First time using this company for this job for carpet cleaning two months ago and this job today. Really professional in introduction and interaction. I already had an estimate but they recommended cleaning of dryer vents. After more than 10yrs of never cleaning I knew it had it be done. They did a super excellent job. I was aware of all pricing and agreed to it before work commenced. All in all very satisfied. Will definitely use them again.Service: HVAC duct & vent cleaning

Alberta Furnace cleaning - cleaned our heating ducts and dryer vent in November of 2021.They were on time and very professional ,Well dressed.. even had company shirts and ties on under their coveralls.They did a very good job.... i had other companies clean the ducts before but nothing like Alberta Furnace completed... i was pleasantly surprised how all the ducts were cleaned and the how efficient and particular they were, getting into all corners and replaced any rubber grommets that they used during the cleaning process.They did a extensive cleaning of the A/C coil and furnace.They cleaned up after themselves... you could not even tell that they were here.I will be using this company in the future for furnace and duct cleaning and clothes dryer vent cleaning.I would highly recommend using them for your duct cleaning.You will not be disappointed.A.

I had a good visit! Used their service 2 years ago for furnace cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Did a second cleaning with them just recently. Both times the men where very polite, informative and quick. I appreciate the call before hand to know when to expect them. Also during Covid they followed all appropriate health standards to make keep me and them safe. Thanks for a job well done!
